I've reviewed a lot of the docs, but maybe missed something... Is there
a function that allows you to just insert text into a buffer. i.e. just
like (prepend-to-buffer buffer-name start stop)... but instead of
passing a start and a stop, you can just pass a string.
Thanks,
matt

Yes, but this would require I first move to the buffer to write to, do
the insert, then move back to the buffer I'm searching in.

That's what with-current-buffer is for I believe:
(with-current-buffer <some-buffer> (insert "foo"))

save-excursion is used to save your location when you temporarily move
somewhere else to do something
(save-excursion
(with-current-buffer "buffer"
(goto-char (point-min))
(insert "Stuff at the front of the buffer\n")))

Sorry, I reviewed that in 'intro to lisp' but promptly forgot about it.
Thanks.
