Hi there,</p>

doit-3, I forgot, because,</p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wrote it 20 minutes ago, it obviously exists inside REPL

<p class="MsoNormal">So, how do I view [dump??] the contents of doit-3 to the
screen, or to a file on the</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">There is something called
"(dribble)" which records a transcript of your session. I've
never used it.<br>
<br>
With LW, I typically use the editor to type into a file (buffer) and
compile-load the buffer, or ^E one form or defun. Undo can get you back
to an earlier state. I find that if I'm experimenting, I do it a function
at a time, until I'm happy with it, so I never have to go back a full hour.<br>
<br>
I take it that most free lisp users use emacs+slime. You split the emacs
window into two, one half shows your edit buffer, the other shows a lisp
interaction. A keystroke sends your current form to the interaction and
you see the result in the interaction buffer.<br>
