Topic: Parenthesis matching ... DUH!!!

PERSONAL OPINION :

Anyone learning lisp, Vlisp may be better served using the VLIDE from Autocad, to take advantage of ;
Integrated Help,
Integrated formatting,
Integrated debugging  < this is a biggie >
Integrated Intellisense < for want of a better expression >

Appropos,
In line evaluation.
etc, etc, etc.

I believe that a lot of questions I see on forums could be resolved by use of the VLIDE.


Note : I have read arguments that using any integrated editor is evil .. and I don't want to get involved in that discussion here.

Completely with you i agree!
I too use VLIDE from Autocad...

I too use VLIDE as my primary editor & it's great for debugging & formatting. I use a secondary editor for it's "Column Mode" and other features ("projects" is a nice one). Also to hold files I use for "Cut & Paste" of code sections. This reduces the open files in VLIDE.

AMEN brother Kerry! It is so easy to check/run just one line, or even one chunk, of code that may, or may not, be the source of your problem.

Personally, I don't care what editor that they use to code in. I just wish that if/when they have problems they'd at least place it into the VLIDE and check it for problems and/or set a break point and step through it themselves.
