I have just discovered lisp through autolisp. Since we're running Autocad on a unix system (Ultrix), it was convenient to use the emacs editor((((helps you counting paranteses)))) to write autolisp routines. Now I see that there is some kind of lisp-interpretor within emacs, but I can't find any documentation on it. Do I have to buy a book? Is there a compiler too?

Assuming you're using GNU Emacs, there's a book, "GNU Emacs Lisp Reference
Manual", which you can purchase from the Free Software Foundation, 675
Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, MA 02139 USA. It is also included online
with GNU Emacs in Info. Use "C-h i" to get into Info and see whether
there's an "Emacs Lisp Reference" document listed.
