1. Lisp mode serves primarily primarily to make it easier to read and write Lisp files -- it colorizes keywords, and sets some indentation, electric, word break, and commenting preferences.
   Lisp mode includes its own menu, which mainly includes Help and navigation items, and can allow Alpha to serve as a front end for a local Lisp application. This menu is also be used in Scheme mode.
2. Lisp mode contains a full set of electric completions, as well as a Completions Tutorial via the Alpha ↣ Mode Setup menu item.
3. An example syntax file is available via the "Examples Help" file. If you open an example syntax file through the provided hyperlinks, it will open in a shell window. After you close the window, clicking on the hyperlink will return the unblemished original.
4. Both Lisp and Scheme modes allow for user customization of keyword dictionaries via the Alpha ↣ Mode Setup ↣ Mode Preferences… dialog. New keywords and color changes will take effect immediately, without the need for a restart or changing windows.
5. Instructions for editing a LispPrefs.tcl file are given below. Any keywords added will not only be colorized, but included in the completions routines as well.
6. Lisp mode has Mark File [M] and Parse Function {} capabilities.
7. Finally, on-line help is available for the Lisp mode through Shift-Command-Double-Clicking. The URL to which the keywords are sent can be configured in the Mode Preferences dialog.
