16.1. A Mini Structure-Editor

  PSL  and  RLISP  provide  a fairly simple structure editor, essentially a
subset   of   the   structure   editor   described   below    in    section
FULL-STRUCTURE-EDITOR.    This  mini  editor is usually resident in PSL and
RLISP, or can be LOADed.  It is useful  for  correcting  errors  in  input,
often  via  the  E  option  in  the  BREAK  loop.  Do HELP(EDITOR) for more
information.

                                           Edit
                                           Edit
  To edit an expression, call the function Edit with the expression  as  an
argument.    The  edited  copy  is  returned.   To edit the definition of a
               EditF
               EditF
function, call EditF with the function name as an argument.

  In the editor, the  following  commands  are  available  (N  indicates  a
             _______
non-negative integer):

     Prints  the subexpression under consideration.  On entry, this is
     the entire expression.  This  only  prints  down  PLEVEL  levels,
     replacing  all edited subexpressions by ***.  PLEVEL is initially
     3.

16.2. The EMODE Screen Editor
16.2. The EMODE Screen Editor
16.2. The EMODE Screen Editor

  EMODE is an EMACS-like screen editor, written entirely in PSL.  To invoke
EMODE, call the function EMODE after LOADing the EMODE module.    EMODE  is
modeled after EMACS, so use that fact as a guide.

  After  starting  up  EMODE,  you can use one of the following commands to
exit.


<Ctrl-X Ctrl-Z>
          "quits" to the EXEC (you can continue or start again).
<Ctrl-Z Ctrl-Z>
          goes back into "normal" I/O mode.


EMODE is built to run on a Teleray terminal as the default.   To  use  some
other  terminal  you must LOAD in a set of different driver functions after
loading EMODE.  The following drivers are currently available:


   - HP2648A
   - TELERAY
   - VT100
   - VT52
   - AAA [Ann Arbor Ambassador]


The sources for these files are on <PSL.EMODE>  (logical  name  PE:).    It
should be quite easy to modify one of these files for other terminals.  See
the  file  PE:TERMINAL-DRIVERS.TXT  for  some  more information on how this
works.

  An important (but currently somewhat bug-ridden) feature of EMODE is  the
ability  to  evaluate expressions that are in your buffer.  Use <Meta-E> to
evaluate the expression starting on the current line.  <Meta-E>  (normally)
automatically  enters  two  window  mode  if  anything  is "printed" to the
OUT_WINDOW buffer, which is shown in the lower window.  If you  don't  want
EDITOR                        7 February 1983                    PSL Manual
page 16.4                                                      section 16.2

to  see things being printed to the output window, you can set the variable
!*OUTWINDOW to NIL.  (Or use the RLISP command  "OFF  OUTWINDOW;".)    This
prevents  EMODE  from automatically going into two window mode if something
is printed to OUT_WINDOW.  You must still use the "<Ctrl-X> 1"  command  to
enter one window mode initially.

  You  may  also  find the <Ctrl-Meta-Y> command useful.  This inserts into
the current buffer the text printed as a result of the last <Meta-E>.

  The function "PrintAllDispatch" prints out the  current  dispatch  table.
You must call EMODE before this table is set up.

  While  in  EMODE,  the <Meta-?> (meta-question mark) character asks for a
command character and tries to print information about it.

  The basic dispatch table is (roughly) as follows:


Character          Function                Comments

<Ctrl-@>           SETMARK
<Ctrl-A>           !$BEGINNINGOFLINE

                                           the string
<Ctrl-S>                                   Forward search for string

                                           return), then it asks for the

   This version of the UCI LISP editor was translated to to  Standard  LISP
by  Tryg  Ager  and Jim MacDonald of IMSSS, Stanford, and adapted to PSL by
E. Benson.  The UCI LISP editor is derived from the INTERLISP editor.

facility  allows  the  user  to easily alter function definitions, variable
values and property list entries.  It thereby makes it entirely unnecessary
for the user to employ a conventional text editor  in  the  maintenance  of
programs.   This document is a guide to using the editor.  Certain features
of the UCI LISP editor have not been incorporated in the translated editor,
and we have tried to mark all such differences.

  This section describes normal user entry to the editor (with  the  EditF,
EditP       EditV
EditP       EditV
EditP  and  EditV fuunctions) and the editing commands which are available.
This section is by no means complete.   In  particular,  material  covering
programmed  calls  to  the editor routines is not treated.  Consult the UCI
LISP manual for further details.

  To edit a function named FOO do 


*(EDITF FOO)


To edit the value of an atom named BAZ do 


*(EDITV BAZ)


To edit the property list of an atom named FOOBAZ do 


*(EDITP FOOBAZ)


These functions are described later in the chapter.

  Warning:  Editing the property list of an atom may position  pointers  at
unprintable  structures.    It  is  best to use the F (find) command before
trying to print property lists.  This editor capability  is  variable  from
implementation to implementation.

  The editor prompts with 


-E-
*


  You  can  then  input  any editor command.  The input scanner is not very
smart.  It terminates its  scan  and  begins  processing  when  it  sees  a
printable  character immediately followed by a carriage return.  Do not use
escape to terminate  an  editor  command.    If  the  editor  seems  to  be

repeatedly  requesting  input type P<ret> (print the current expression) or
some other command that ordinarily does no damage, but terminates the input
solicitation.

  The following set of topics makes a good "first glance" at the editor.


    Entering the editor:  EDITF, EDITV.
    Leaving the editor:   OK.
    Editor's attention:   CURRENT-EXP.
    Changing attention:   POS-INTEGER, NEG-INTEGER, 0, ^, NX, BK.
    Printing:             P, PP.
    Modification:         POS-INTEGER, NEG-INTEGER, A, B, :, N.
    Changing parens:      BI, BO.
    Undoing changes:      UNDO.


For the more discriminating user, the next topics  might  be  some  of  the
following.


Searches:             PATTERN, F, BF.
Complex commands:     R, SW, XTR, MBD, MOVE.
Changing parens:      LI, LO, RI, RO.
Undoing changes:      TEST, UNBLOCK, !UNDO.


  Other  features  should  be skimmed but not studied until it appears that
they may be useful.

     the  current expression.  This is accomplished by doing an UP and
     a (-2 exp1 exp2 ... expn) or  an  (N  exp1  exp2  ...  expn),  as
     appropriate.    Note  the  way in which the current expression is

BELOW (COM, <N>)                                                       edit

     This  command  changes  the  current  expression in the following
                               ___                     ___
     manner.  The edit command COM is executed.    If  COM  is  not  a
                                  ___
     recognized  command, then (_ COM) is executed instead.  Note that
     ___
     COM should cause  ascent  in  the  edit  chain  (i.e.  should  be

     equivalent  to  some  number  of  zeros).    BELOW then evaluates
     (note!) N and descends N links in the resulting edit chain.  That

     the link specified by COM and stops N links below that (backs off
     N 0s).  If N is not given, 1 is assumed.


BF
BF  ___   ___                                                          ____

     Also can be used as: 


     BF PAT


                                 _         _                   ___
     This  command  performs  a  Backwards Find, searching for PAT (an
     edit pattern).  Search begins  with  the  expression  immediately
     before  the  current  expression  and  proceeds  in reverse print
     order.  (If the current expression is the top  level  expression,
     the  entire  expression  is  searched  in  reverse  print order.)
     Search begins at the end of each list,  and  descends  into  each
     element  before  attempting  to match that element.  If the match
     fails, proceed to the previous element, etc. until the  front  of
                                              BF
                                              BF
     the  list  is  reached.   At that point, BF ascends and backs up,
     etc.

     The search algorithm may be slightly modified by use of a  second
                         ___
     argument.  Possible FLGs and their meanings are as follows.


     T         begins  search  with the current expression rather than
               with the preceding expression at this level.
                                    BF
                                    BF ___
     NIL       or missing - same as BF PAT.


     NOTE:  if the variable UPFINDFLG is non-NIL, the editor  does  an
     UP
     UP                                 ___
     UP  after  the expression matching PAT is located.  Thus, doing a
     BF
     BF
     BF for a function name yields a current expression which  is  the
     entire  function  call.  If this is not desired, UPFINDFLG may be
     set to NIL.  UPFINDFLG is initially T. 

     BF
     BF
     BF is protected from circular searches by the variable  MAXLEVEL.
                                 Car       Cdr
                                 Car       Cdr
     If  the  total  number  of  Cars  and Cdrs descended into reaches
     MAXLEVEL (initially 300), search  of  that  tail  or  element  is
     abandoned exactly as though a complete search had failed.

     This  command  inserts  a  pair  of  parentheses  in  the current
                              _        _
     expression; i.e. it is a Balanced Insert.  (Note that parentheses
     are ALWAYS balanced, and  hence  must  be  added  or  removed  in
     pairs.)   A left parenthesis is inserted before element N1 of the
     current expression.    A  right  parenthesis  is  inserted  after
     element N2 of the current expression.  Both N1 and N2 are usually
     integers, and element N2 must be to the right of element N1.

     (BI n1) is equivalent to (BI n1 n1).

          NTH
          NTH
     The  NTH  command is used in the search, so that N1 and N2 may be
     any location specifications.  The expressions used are the  first
     element  of the current expression in which the specified form is
     found at any level.


BIND
BIND   ___                                                             ____
BIND ([COM])                                                           edit

     This command provides the user with temporary variables  for  use
     during  the  execution  of  the  sequence  of edit commands coms.
     There are three variables available: #1, #2 and #3.  The  binding
                        BIND
                        BIND
     is  recursive  and BIND may be executed recursively if necessary.
     All variables are initialized to NIL.   This  feature  is  useful
     chiefly in defining edit macros.


BK
BK                                                                     ____

     The   current   expression  becomes  the  expression  immediately
                                                     _     _
     preceding the present current expression; i.e.  Back  Up.    This
     command generates an error if the current expression is the first
     expression in the list.


BO
BO  _                                                                  ____

         BO
         BO
     The BO command removes a pair of parentheses from the Nth element

     of  the  current  expression;  i.e. it is a Balanced Remove.  The

                                             NTH
     parameter N is usually an integer.  The NTH command  is  used  in
     the  search,  however,  so that any location specification may be
     used.  The expression referred to is the  first  element  of  the
     current  expression  in  which the specified form is found at any
     level.

                                ___
     This command executes each ARG as an edit command.

  At any given time, the attention of the editor is  focused  on  a  single
expression  or  form.    We  call that form the current expression.  Editor
commands may be divided into two  broad  classes.    Those  commands  which
change  the  current  expression  are  called attention- changing commands.
Those commands which modify structure  are  called  structure  modification
commands.

     This  command  deletes  the  current  expression.  If the current
     expression is a tail, only the first element is  deleted.    This
     command is equivalent to (:).

     executing the location specification LOC  by  another  expression

                                           ___
     This command causes the next command, PAT, to be interpreted as a
     pattern.    The  current  expression  is  searched  for  the next
                   ___        _         ___
     occurrence of PAT; i.e.  Find.  If PAT is a top level element  of

     the   current   expression,  then  PAT  matches  that  top  level
     occurrence  and  a  full  recursive  search  is  not   attempted.
     Otherwise, the search proceeds in print order.  Recursion is done

     first in the Car and then in the Cdr direction.

     The  form  (F  PAT  FLG) of the command may be used to modify the
                                                ___
     search algorithm according to the value of FLG.  Possible  values
     and their actions are:


     N         suppresses  the  top-level  check.   That is, finds the

     T         like  N,  but  may succeed without changing the current
               expression.  That is,  succeeds  even  if  the  current

               finds  the  nth place at which PAT is matched.  This is
               equivalent to (F PAT T) followed by n-1 (F PAT N)s.  If
               n occurrences are not found, the current expression  is
               unchanged.

     NIL or missing
               Only   searches  top  level  elements  of  the  current
               expression.  May succeed without changing  the  current
               expression.


     NOTE:    If the variable UPFINDFLG is non-NIL, F does an UP after
     locating a match.  This ensures that F  fn,  in  which  fn  is  a
     function  name,  results  in  a  current  expression which is the
     entire function call.  If this is undesirable, set  UPFINDFLG  to
     NIL.  Its initial value is T.

     This   command,   which   takes   as   an   argument  a  location

     left parenthesis is  inserted  before  the  Nth  element  of  the
     current  expression  and  the right parenthesis at the end of the
     current expression.  Thus, this command is equivalent  to  (BI  n
     -1).

          NTH
          NTH
     The  NTH  command  is  used  in  the  search, so that N, which is
     usually an integer, may  be  any  location  specification.    The
     expression  referred  to  is  the  first  element  of the current
     expression which contains the form specified at any level.

     This command removes a left parenthesis  (and  a  matching  right
     parenthesis,  of  course)  from  the  Nth  element of the current

     The  command  uses the NTH command for the search.  The parameter
     N,  which  is  usually  an   integer,   may   be   any   location
     specification.   The expression actually referred to is the first
     element of the current expression which  contains  the  specified

     The  editor provides the user with a macro facility; i.e. M.  The
     user may define frequently used  command  sequences  to  be  edit
     macros, which may then be invoked simply by giving the macro name
                                    M
                                    M
     as  an  edit  command.    The  M command provides the user with a
     method of defining edit macros.

     The first alternate form of the command defines an atomic command
                                             ___
     which takes no arguments.  The argument NAM is the atomic name of
                              ___
     the macro.  This defines NAM to be an edit  macro  equivalent  to

     the  sequence  of  edit  commands  COMS.  If NAM previously had a
     definition as an edit macro, the new definition replaces the old.
     NOTE:  Edit command names take precedence over macros.  It is not
     possible to redefine edit command names.

     The main form of the M command as  given  above  defines  a  list
     command,  which takes a fixed number of arguments.  In this case,
     ___
     NAM is defined to be an edit macro equivalent to the sequence  of
                     ____
     edit  commands  COMS.    However,  as (nam exp1 exp2 ... expn) is
     executed, the expi are substituted for the corresponding argi  in
     ____        ____
     COMS before COMS are executed.

     The second alternate form of the M command defines a list command
     which  may  take  an arbitrary number of arguments.  Execution of
               ___
     the macro NAM is accomplished  by  substituting  (exp1  exp2  ...

     This is really two separate commands.   The  atomic  form  is  an

     Before  End.    That  is,  -1  specifies the last element, -2 the
     second from last, etc.

     The list form of the command is a structure modification command.
     This command inserts exp1 through expn (at least one expi must be
     present) before the nth element (counting from the BEGINNING)  of
     the  current  expression.    That is, -1 inserts before the first
     element, -2 before the second, etc.

     This command causes normal exit from the editor.

     The state of the edit is saved on property LASTVALUE of the  atom
     EDIT.  If the next form edited is the same, the edit is restored.
     That  is,  it is (with the exception of a BLOCK on the undo-list)
     as though the editor had never been exited.

     This  command  prints  the  current  expression; i.e. Print.  The
     atomic form of the command prints the  current  expression  to  a
     depth of 2.  More deeply nested forms are printed as &.

     be any combination of literal list structure and special  pattern
     elements.

     The special elements are as follows.

               any of the patterns in (Cdr PAT).

     @         if an element of pat  is  a  literal  atom  whose  last
               character  is  @, then that element matches any literal
               atom  whose  initial  characters  match   the   initial
               characters  of  the  element.    That  is,  VER matches
               VERYLONGATOM.

     however,  that  if  any of the executions causes an editor error,
     the current expression remains unchanged.

     Also can use as: 


     UNDO


     This  command  undoes  editing  changes.  All editing changes are
     undoable, provided that  the  information  is  available  to  the
     editor.    (The  necessary information is always available unless
                                            SAVE
                                            SAVE
     several forms are being edited and the SAVE command is not used.)
     Changes made in the current editing session are ALWAYS undoable.

     The short form of the command  undoes  the  most  recent  change.
                            UNDO       !UNDO
                            UNDO       !UNDO
     Note,  however,  that  UNDO  and  !UNDO changes are skipped, even
     though they are themselves undoable.

     The long form of the command allows the user to undo an arbitrary
                                                 UNDO       !UNDO

     command, not necessarily the most recent.   UNDO  and  !UNDO  may
     also be undone in this manner.

                 UP
                 UP

     becomes   the  form  whose  first  element  is  the  old  current
     expression.

     This command replaces  the  current  expression  by  one  of  its
                                                   ___
     subexpressions.   The location specification, LOC, gives the form
     to be used.  Note that only the current expression  is  searched.
     If  the current expression is a tail, the command operates on the
     first element of the tail.

     This  command  makes  the  current  expression  the  next  higher
     expression.    This  usually,  but  not  always,  corresponds  to
     returning to the next higher left parenthesis.  This command  is,
     in  some  sense,  the inverse of the POS-INTEGER and NEG- INTEGER
     atomic commands.

     This command returns to the expression which was  current  before
     the last 'big jump.'  Big jumps are caused by these commands:  ^,
     _, __, !NX, all commands which perform a search or use a location
     specification,  \  itself,  and  \P.    NOTE:  \  is shift-L on a
     teletype.

     This command returns to the expression which was  current  before
     the  last print operation (P, PP or ?).  Only the two most recent
     locations are saved.  NOTE: \ is shift-L on a teletype.

     This command makes the next expression  at  a  higher  level  the
     current expression.  That is, it goes through any number of right
     parentheses to get to the next expression.

     This command does repeated 0s  until  it  reaches  an  expression
     which  is  not  a  tail  of  the  next  higher  expression.  That
     expression becomes the new current expression.    That  is,  this
     command  returns  to the next higher left parenthesis, regardless
     of intervening tails.
