| | Re: Xanadu--some initial reactions |
 | | Originally, it was written in Teco, but it's been rewritten in many different forms, in MockLisp, Lisp Machine Lisp, Gnu Emacs Lisp, C and other languages. |
 | | Then it stored the dynamically generated PostScript and MockLisp code in another info resource, that could be quickly downloaded and executed the next time you start up Emacs. |
 | | So the user was able to use the standard "info" hypertext editing facility in Emacs to construct their own custom menus for Emacs, including binding items to function keys, MockLisp code (executed by emacs), PostScript code (executed in the window server), as well as submenus (handled locally in the server without causing any network traffic). |
