Thanks for helping. I am reading string from PostgreSQL database
field. And I wish to edit that string. It is best done if string is
first written into the file, so that I can edit the file, and after
killing the buffer to read the string from file, so that it can be fed
into the database.
Question is basically how to know, from Emacs Lisp, reliably, that
process of editing of a buffer finished, so that string can be read
from file, thereafter.
I feel solution is very simple, I just don't know it.
Jean
