Value

"ELISP> "

Documentation

Prompt used in IELM.

Setting this variable does not affect existing IELM runs.

Interrupting the IELM process with M-x comint-interrupt-subjob (comint-interrupt-subjob), and then restarting it using M-x ielm (ielm), makes the then current default value affect _new_ prompts. Unless the new prompt differs only in text properties from the old one, IELM will no longer recognize the old prompts. However, executing M-x ielm (ielm) does not update the prompt of an *ielm* buffer with a running process. For IELM buffers that are not called *ielm*, you can execute M-x inferior-emacs-lisp-mode (inferior-emacs-lisp-mode) in that IELM buffer to update the value, for new prompts. This works even if the buffer has a running process.
