The function
prompt-for-forms
prompts the user for a number of forms by providing a text input pane that the forms can be typed into, and it returns the forms in a list. The forms are read in the specified
package
or
*package*
if not. If
evaluate
is non-
nil
then the result is the evaluation of the form, else it is just the form itself.
The printed version of initial-value will be placed into the text input pane as a default.
The prompter is created by passing an appropriate pane (in this case a text input pane) to popup-confirmer. Arguments can be passed to the
make-instance
of the pane and the call to
popup-confirmer using
pane-args
and
popup-args
respectively.
Try the following example, and enter
1 2 3
into the input pane.
