"how do I": C-h a (`apropos-command') "insert": C-h a insert (then search for "buffer") "buffer": C-h a buffer (then search for "insert") Command found: `insert-buffer' Will it help? `C-h f insert-buffer': "Insert after point the contents of BUFFER." - sounds promising... Result: M-x insert-buffer *scratch* Really, it's not so hard to find things out yourself, with Emacs. It doesn't get any easier than this. Your friends are `apropos-command', `apropos' (... try `M-x apropos apropos'), the online help (C-h i Emacs), C-h f, C-h v, C-h m, EmacsWiki (http://www.emacswiki.org), and ... two more FREE questions to help-gnu-emacs - choose wisely ;-).
