Not really what you're asking, but I use the autoinsert package for
things like that. Just create a template and it will be loaded
whenever you create new files of the given type.

  (require 'autoinsert)
  (add-hook 'find-file-hooks 'auto-insert)
  (setq auto-insert-directory "~/.emacs.d/insert/")
  (define-auto-insert "\\.sh\\'"  "sh-insert.sh")
  (define-auto-insert "\\.tex\\'"  "tex-insert.tex")
  (define-auto-insert "\\.el\\'"  "el-insert.el")
  (define-auto-insert "\\.c\\'"  "c-insert.c") ;;

With autoinsert you can insert dynamic content as well, for example
when you create a Java file it can insert a correctly named class
declaration based on the filename, and then leave the cursor where you
want to start typing.
