Emacs Lisp in Edwin Scheme

Abstract

The MIT-Scheme program development environment includes a general- purpose text editor, Edwin, that has an extension language, Edwin Scheme. Edwin is very similiar to another general-purpose text editor, GNU Emacs, which also has an extension language, Emacs Lisp. The popularity of GNU Emacs has lead to a large library of tools written in Emacs Lisp. The goal of this thesis is to implement a useful subset of Emacs Lisp in Edwin Scheme. This subset was chosen to be sufficient for simple operation of the GNUS news reading program. Scheme, Extension language, Editor, Multi-language environment, Interpreted language
