The XLISP-STAT Editor
The Macintosh version of XLISP-STAT includes a simple editor for
preparing data files and function definitions. To edit an existing
file select the Open Edit item on the File menu;
to start a new file select New Edit. Other commands on the
File menu can be used to save your file and to revert back
to the saved version. The editor can only handle text files of less
than 32K characters. As in the listener window, hitting the tab
key in any line but the first of a multiline expression will indent
the expression to a reasonable point. The editor also allows you to
select a section of text representing one or more Lisp expressions and
have these evaluated. To do this select the expressions you want to
evaluate and then choose Eval Selection from the
Edit menu. The returned values are not available, so this is
only useful for producing side effects, such as defining variables or
functions.
