Yes, usually.  If you're inexperienced with Emacs, maybe you should
take the tutorial?  (C-h t)

Write Lisp-expressions in it, and they get evaluated right away.  In
a regular Emacs-buffer (preferably one in Lisp-mode, which you should
get automatically when loading .lisp/.cl-fils) you can write Lisp-code
and then use ilisp-hotkeys to do things like evaluating the whole
buffer, a given region or a given expression.  (What this does is send
the selected region/buffer/expression to the ILISP-buffer.)
