Guessing that you have text you want to evaluate as elisp, try the following.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
C-h f eval-region
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

What I do is select a region of elisp text and M-x eval-region.

Hope that helps.
