Tint Interaction

Rather than Lisp, Tint Emacs uses Tint as its builtin programming language. Just as GNU Emacs has Lisp Interaction, Tint Emacs has Tint Interaction. The buffer *scratch* has Tint Interaction as its major mode. Tint Interaction mode is just the same as Tint mode, except that C-j is bound to eval-print-last-sexp. To put the current buffer into Tint Interaction mode, type M-x tint-interaction-mode.

Evaluating Tint Expressions

Tint mode is used for editing Tint programs, whether or not they are intended to run in Tint Emacs. Tint Emacs has the same commands for evaluating Tint expressions that GNU Emacs has for evaluating Lisp ones.

M-: (which is bound to eval-expression), C-x C-e (which is bound to eval-last-sexp), M-C-x (which is bound to eval-defun), eval-region, and eval-current-buffer all work the same as GNU Emacs except for Tint expressions rather than Lisp ones.

M-x load-file will load and compile a file of Tint source code. This works the same as GNU Emacs, except that Tint is used rather than Lisp.
