Thank you, Xah.
It's always nice to be both patronised and given no help. I actually
already have some experience writing elisp, but a "simple elisp" (do you
actually mean a new implementation of the language?!) isn't what I was
after. Indeed I wanted something a lot more like what rgb
suggested. This wasn't "simple".
Happy trolling,
Rupert
