Emacs programs

[ecks]

Does anybody hae any idea how to load elisp emacs programs and make them work? Please help me out, any help is appreciated.

[ecks]

maybe I should rephrase in order to get my point across. What I am trying to accomplish is get a file off, let's say, http://www.emacswiki.org endinh with an .el extension. Then after that, I am trying to comile that source code into a program in order to be operatable by by my emacs text editor. Does anybody know how to accomplish this task?

You need assistance with both downloading the file and compiling?

Right-click on the file and select 'save link to disk'.

I'm not a emacs user and so I have no idea on how to compile. Do you first need to open the file in emacs and perhaps select 'compile' from one of the toolbars?

No I know how to download the file! I do not know, however how to make it an executable file for it to work like a program under emacs.

You need to change the file to executable in order for it to work with Emacs?

chmod +x filename.el
