## Summary

This hour does not tell you all you need to know to write an extension to Emacs. It also hasn't told you enough to make the simplest functions in Emacs to manipulate your text. But that was not the intention. It has, however, succeeded in telling you enough about Lisp that you now understand most of what is going on in your .emacs file.

For a deeper introduction to Lisp, refer to the Lisp introduction located on the CD. In the info pages, a Lisp reference manual should be available. If that's not the case, it's available on the CD too. This reference manual covers everything you need to know, including all the different functions for manipulating the text of the buffers.
