- NO, NO, NO... Perhaps this was true with the first versions of
- micro-emacs but now there is a macro language, which looks like basic.
- Right, it is not Lisp :-)
-
- You have access, from this "language", to all built-in commands. You
- can define new command and bind them to keys.
-
- The only built-in mode is a C-mode. You can add your own modes by
- writing some macroes. Many people have done so, for Pascal or TeX.
