Hi,

I started "emacs -Q" and type in this expression (+ 2 2). I was following the steps on the introduction to emacs lisp 1.2.

Below is the output of the buffer

--------------------------------

For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.

4 (#o4, #x4, ?\C-d) [2 times]

Mark set

command-execute: Buffer is read-only: #<buffer *Messages*>

4 (#o4, #x4, ?\C-d)

Regards,

badli

Unless you tell what was in the buffer before the cursor when you
types "C-x C-e", we cannot investigate what caused the error. Please
provide the missing information. It is best to describe all the steps
to reproduce the error starting from "emacs -Q".

Thanks.
