Guys, is there a way to have nested loops with LOOP such that the variable def/stepping is after the say, body, (when, etc.)?

In other words, every clause is going to be executed at most once in each iteration of a LOOP.

An oversimplification would be that you start with everything indented just to the right of the LOOP symbol, then every conditional body form is indented in two spaces.

Perhaps I should learn to read Emacs Lisp so that I can decipher the rules from the indentation contribution

Hi all. I am using emacs inferior-lisp to run CL interatively in emacs. however I am creating a game and would like at a certain point to clear the emacs buffer where my lisp is running. I could execute the emacs command (erase-buffer) from emacs e.g. M-x erase-buffer... but can i do it from inside the CL program itself?

francogrex: It's probably best not to do this. If you are making a game with terminal effects like clearing the screen, it's best to use a terminal library like cl-charms and run in the terminal. If it's just for you the developer, it's best to just do it on the emacs side with a elisp. BUT, if you run slime instead of inferior-lisp there is swank:eval-in-emacs, which could do something like that. Note that lisp programmers might be

I think I have a version of my paper on representing method combinations that is close to finished. If anyone feels like reading it, this is your opportunity to appear in the "Acknowledgments" section. Deadline for submission is in a week or so. http://metamodular.com/SICL/representing-method-combinations.pdf
