==How to run Emacs Lisp code==

A simple way to run Emacs code is to switch to the scratch buffer (Buffers -> *scratch*), type in or paste some Lisp code, and then move to the end of the Lisp expression and press Control-J to evaluate it.[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/efaq/Evaluating-Emacs-Lisp-code.html]

If the debugger window appears, it can be dismissed with File -> Close like any other buffer.

Lisp code can also be added to the user's ~/.emacs file, which is evaluated at startup.
