5 A Few More Complex Functions ****************************** In this chapter, we build on what we have learned in previous chapters by looking at more complex functions. The ‘copy-to-buffer’ function illustrates use of two ‘save-excursion’ expressions in one definition, while the ‘insert-buffer’ function illustrates use of an asterisk in an ‘interactive’ expression, use of ‘or’, and the important distinction between a name and the object to which the name refers.
· copy-to-buffer With ‘set-buffer’, ‘get-buffer-create’. · insert-buffer Read-only, and with ‘or’. · beginning-of-buffer Shows ‘goto-char’, ‘point-min’, and ‘push-mark’. · Second Buffer Related Review · optional Exercise
