- Well. If you happen to have a TI Explorer Lisp machine on your
- network, you can use my GNU Emacs interface, rpc-hm, to access
- Explorer functions like DOCUMENTATION, in your case.
-
- (lisp-dir-apropos "rpc") gives me:
-
- GNU Emacs Lisp Code Directory Apropos -- "rpc"
- "~/" refers to
- archive.cis.ohio-state.edu:/pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/
-
- rpc-hm (1.0) 92-07-20

- Machines
-
- Check out the Elisp function called rld-describe-function/variable:
-
- E.g. (rld-describe-function 'machine-instance) gives:
-
- Function LISP:MACHINE-INSTANCE ()
-
- Return a string that identifies which particular machine this
- implementation is.
-
- ;;; End of documentation for MACHINE-INSTANCE provided by REMULUS.
-
-
- Typically I bind this function to C-h f when working with Lisp code to
- easily access doc for the functions appearing in the source code.
-
- rpc-hm works with Symbolics as well, but unfortunately Symbolics
- doesn't make the documentation available outside their own Document
- Examiner, so it won't be of any help to you.

- Cheers,
- Eyvind.
