Lisp mode is a major mode used for editing Lisp code. Although most Lisp specific commands are globally bound, Lisp mode is necessary to enable Lisp indentation, commenting, and parenthesis-matching. Whenever the user or some Hemlock mechanism turns on Lisp mode, the mode’s setup includes locally setting Current Package (see section lisp-package) in that buffer if its value is non-existent there; the value used is "USER".
This command sets the major mode of the current buffer to Lisp.
