Hi,

I'm trying to write a skeleton with (search-forward) in it. But
(search-forward) always returns the point and skeleton inserts it as a
string in the buffer, which of course is not what I want. Ho can I
discard the return value of a function? I searched the elisp reference
and the net but didn't found anything. Sure, I can assign the return to
a variable, but there must be a better solution.

best regards
