- My DMacro package does this. Well, actually it does a whole lot more,
- but when I started writing it it was to do this. It's available from
- archive.cis.ohio-state.edu. But I'll send you a copy.

- Method A:
- 1) Type "Esc Esc".
- 2) If Emacs asks you something, type "Space".
- 3) Type "(car '(1 2))<Return>"
-
- Method B:
- 1) Go to the *scratch* buffer.
- 2) Type "(car '(1 2))<LineFeed>"
-
- Both methods could have been gleaned from the User's Manual.
