What's about writing a skeleton combined with an abbrev?
Kind of this (c-style):
(define-skeleton my-comment
"insert-skeleton for comments"
>"/*****************************************************" \n
>"* "(skeleton-read "function title: ") \n
>"* " \n
>"* " _ \n
>"* " \n
>"* " \n
>"*****************************************************/" \n)
(define-abbrev c-mode-abbrev-table "cmnt" "" 'my-comment)
just put it in your .emacs file and switch to c-mode type
'cmnt' an it will expand. you could also define a keyboard
shortcut for your purpose. feel free to define it for other
abbrev-tables (m-x list-abbrevs).
i think this solution is more comfortable and flexible as the
insert-file.
