It wasn't a teacher's attitude (I'm no lisp guru as well... :) i just thought
that if you wanted to research on your own for the fun of it, it would have
been bad to tell you...

This looks even better to me...

For my taste, though, I'd use fill-column and dynamic comment size to find the
-line length, like:
(defun inserrt-comment-heading (comment)
"Insert COMMENT, followed by \" ---...\". The line will be
commented based on which mode you are in."
(interactive "sComment: ")
(insert comment " " (make-string (- fill-column
(+ (length comment) (length comment-start)
(length comment-end)))
?-))
(comment-region (point-at-bol) (point-at-eol))
(goto-char (point-at-eol))
(newline)
)
cheers
