1. Documentation for functions is easily accessed with Control-h f and
then enter the name of the function.
2. You can always do a "save-excursion" before calling those
functions... check it with C-h f as well.
Maybe it would be better if you told us what to you want to
accomplish... there might be an easier way.
Cheers,
