Text editor or framework for SKILL...

ToMWUT
Hello All,

I've got some general questions about tools which could be used to write programs in SKILL. First of all could you recommend some text editor which highlights the SKILL syntax. Right now my main problems concerns syntax errors based on the problem that I'm for example passing wrong argument types to my procedures... Is there maybe a tool which could help me with this problem in SKILL, such as for example Eclipse for J2EE or Visual Studio for .Net? If not – even some text editor with the right syntax highlight for SKILL will be sufficient.

Thanks,

ToM

    Lots of good stuff in that skillMode.el file--thanks!

     

    But I'm confused why you wrote all those "send-*-to-icfb" functions when you could just run "virtuoso -nographE" in Inferior Lisp mode? 

     

        (set-variable 'inferior-lisp-program "virtuoso -nographE -nocdsinit")

    With that, you can use the usual Lisp mode keys (e.g. C-x C-e and C-M-x) to send SKILL code to Virtuoso for evaluation.  There's also customizable variables to do doc lookups; e.g.

        (set-variable 'lisp-function-doc-command "help %s\n")

    Now you can use C-h C-f to get SKILL finder help on a function.
