Re: teach-emac
|
||||
|
||||
We use an Otrona Attache as a terminal with the Softcom program. The
|
||||
Softcom progjram uses the escape character to interruopt the terminal
|
||||
program and to store buffers etc. Any suggestions oon how to use
|
||||
Teach-EMacs
|
||||
|
||||
No. I suggest you get another kind of terminal. You will have troubles with
|
||||
more than just TEACH-EMACS if you cannot send an escape character through.

WORK TO BE DONE ON XTEACH
|
||||
|
||||
0. numbered dumps for...
|
||||
1. fix files
|
||||
|
||||
2. Think about handlers for the control characters that do fun things
|
||||
like explain that they've typed ^B or ^D or whatever and ask them if
|
||||
they are losing utterly or have some idea of what magic they've
|
||||
tripped over.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Think about having lessons that enable features of the system so
|
||||
that once they're at a certain level of sophistication, they can hack
|
||||
fun things like breakpoints and stuff.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Make the lessons go lots farther so that these are fun things to
|
||||
think 'bout.
|
||||
|
||||
5. RENAMEF and back copies. KMP says:
|
||||
|
||||
I suspect the right thing is to write a subroutine which reaps
|
||||
all but the most recent version and/or to set the generation
|
||||
retention count of that file to 1.
|
||||
|
||||
6. MORE stuff...
|
||||
|
||||
(defvar **more**-chars nil)
|
||||
(defmacro bind-**more**-chars (specs &body body)
|
||||
`(let ((**more**-chars (append **more**-chars ',specs))) ;or some such
|
||||
,@body))
|
||||
(defun some-lesson-part ()
|
||||
(bind-**more**-chars ((#^A abort-lesson "Abort lesson"))
|
||||
...cruft...))
|
||||
(defun **maybe-more** (...)
|
||||
(cond ...
|
||||
((assq c **more**-chars)
|
||||
(funcall (assq c **more**-chars)))
|
||||
...
|
||||
(flag
|
||||
(format t ...hair...))))
|
||||
the hair comes from what happens if you do
|
||||
(bind-**more**-chars ((#^A thing1))
|
||||
(bind-**more**-chars ((#^A thing2))
|
||||
...))
|
||||
to get (SPACE=Continue,RUBOUT=Flush,^A=thing2)
|
||||
and not thing1. the reason i suggest append is you can do
|
||||
(do ((l **more**-chars (cdr l)))
|
||||
((null l))
|
||||
(cond ((not (assq (caar l) (cdr l))) ;no other awaits us
|
||||
(format outstream "...")))) ;so type out info...
|
||||
|
||||
7. Should we give them a script file to play with? (mention it
|
||||
in LESSON INFO, if so.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Lessons--
|
||||
|
||||
INFO
|
||||
is there to be a special lisp for them, or just xteach itself?
|
||||
|
||||
EVAL
|
||||
makes the claim that evaluation will be talked about "in greater detail"
|
||||
later. Hah!
|
||||
application does not seem to be addressed any place.
|
||||
|
||||
OBJECT
|
||||
says we'll deal with uses of TYPEP in later lessons. we don't.
