Hello:
I am constantly losing short pieces of text left in *scratch* and I wrote this
interactive function:
(defun save-scratchtemp ();; M-x scr
(interactive)
(switch-to-buffer "*scratch*")
(mark-whole-buffer)
(setq start (point) end (mark))
(append-to-file start end "c:/mydocu~1/scratchtemp.txt")
)
It "works" but according to the docs mark-whole-buffer shouldn't be used this
way.Is there an understandable (to me) right way of doing this or doing
something else that can be invoked as easily?
Thanks,
Ed
