Finally, Emacs provides quite a few ways to get help, all bound to key combos starting with C-h. Typing C-h ? brings up a complete list. Two of the most useful, besides the tutorial, are C-h k, which lets us type any key combo and tells us what command it invokes, and C-h w, which lets us enter the name of a command and tells us what key combination invokes it. The other crucial bit of Emacs terminology, for folks who refuse to work through the tutorial, is the notion of a buffer. While working in Emacs, each file you edit will be represented by a different buffer, only one of which is “current” at any given time.
The command switch-to-buffer, bound to the key combination C-x b, prompts for the name of a buffer in the area at the bottom of the Emacs frame. When entering a buffer name, hitting Tab will complete the name based on the characters typed so far or will show a list of possible completions. The prompt also suggests a default buffer, which you can accept just by hitting Return. You can also switch buffers by selecting a buffer from the Buffers menu. book Page 12 Monday, February 28, 2005 4:36 PM 12 CHAPTER 2 ■ LATHER, RINSE, REPEAT: A TOUR OF THE REPL In certain contexts, other key combinations may be available for switching to certain buffers.

The original “hello, world” seems to have come from Brian Kernighan’s “A Tutorial Introduction to the Language B” that was part of the Bell Laboratories Computing Science Technical Report #8: The Programming Language B published in January 1973. ) 8. book Page 14 Monday, February 28, 2005 4:36 PM 14 CHAPTER 2 ■ LATHER, RINSE, REPEAT: A TOUR OF THE REPL One thing to note about the result of the FORMAT expression is the NIL on the line after the “hello, world” output.
