Oh, of course, while inserting the stuff your specified end position gets outdated. You can use a marker instead of a number: (copy-marker (region-end)) it will automatically be adjusted. Arithmetic relations like `<' also accept markers, so you don't need to rewrite your code. BTW, your function calls `region-beginning' and `region-end' in the interactive spec and a second time in the function body: The function arguments BEG and END are ignored in the body. That makes no sense. Michael.
