Sure. The simple `start-process' call runs a program as an

That sounds like a good possibility.
Sure. I don't quite know what _you_ mean when you say
"primitive" here,
I mean a function that is callable inside xemacs
(interactive or
not) and written in C rather than eLisp.
input and output of Csound &c. is primarily text-based, except
for the
sound bit. ;)
That is in fact one of its selling points.
If you really want dials and knobs and stuff, Emacs isn't a good
choice, but it looked like Csound deals mostly with text, right?
I don't. I
can't think of anything worse than tying to adjust a knob
with a pointer on a computer screen.
You are wrong there. It's used to create virtual file systems
within
Emacs, not to handle files differently from standard text.
Bummer.
What you probably want is to create a major mode for Csound files.
That
Well, yeah. I was so caught up with re-using C code that I went strait for
the low level details. I'll take a look at developing modes first.
Thanks for taking the time to clear up my misconceptions and for the
advice.
