I'm using the console version of emacs (that is, I'm SSH'ed into a remote machine and using emacs there) and I was wondering how (assuming it's possible) to start up the REPL from there. I'm pretty new to Lisp and emacs.

This might be a dumb question, but what flavor of Lisp am I running when I'm here? – Jason Swett Nov 23 '10 at 02:20

Ah, that's logical. And I'm trying to Google this without success: how do I leave ielm? – Jason Swett Nov 23 '10 at 02:24

1`C-d` at an empty prompt kills the REPL. Try `M-x describe-mode` (usually bound to `C-h m`) to see all the key-bindings. – clstrfsck Nov 23 '10 at 04:47

You can run a terminal emulator with M-x term in Emacs and use any REPL you like in there. I prefer it to inferior modes, but I think it's just a matter of taste.
