Re: Lispworks IDE on Linux

Hello -

My answer could be not in a direct correlation to your question, but I want to show you my .lispworks file that I use on Linux (Ubuntu). Mostly I do my work on LW on Windows, but when I use LW on Linux I want to get rid of the "uber window" and this mailing group helped me with the answer to that problem some time ago (see the second part of my .lispworks for the code I was given). The first part of my .lispworks is just some bindings to emulate emacs, turning off syntax highlighting and the use of ctrl-m as the enter key in all situation.

Best,
 Art
