Hello,
I'm trying to get idlwave to work on my mac (OSX). I'm a complete
Unix-dummy, and had our systems administrator install it for me. I've
also never used emacs previously. From the screen shots on the
idlwave.org web page, I thought I'd find a nice user interface on
startup, but so far all I get is something that looks like plain emacs.
I have GNU emacs 21.2.1 on my machine, and idlwave 5.6. When I start a
.pro file in emacs, it tells me on the bottom line that it found the
idlwave module. So the installations seems to be okay.
Is there a simple way to get the user interface to pop up, so I could
go from there? I can't even go through the idlwave tutorial because I
don't know the emacs controls. I can't get throught the emacs tutorial,
because I can't figure out where the Meta key is on the mac. I've
surfed around a bit and gather that I may have to put a couple of lines
in my .emacs file or something. Is there a mac person out there who
wouldn't mind sharing his/her .emacs file?
Thanks
