You can write such a general command, by studying this function: (defun print-roll-outs (chainrings sprockets bsd tire) (let ((out-buffer (get-buffer-create "*gears*"))) (with-current-buffer out-buffer (goto-char (point-max)) (print-intro-data chainrings sprockets bsd tire) (let ((ros (all-roll-outs chainrings sprockets bsd tire))) (cl-loop for ro in ros do (let ((c ( car ro)) (s ( cadr ro)) (r (cl-caddr ro))) (insert (format "% 9d% 14d% 15.0f\n" c s r)) )))) (pop-to-buffer out-buffer) )) In particular, `get-buffer-create', `with-current-buffer', `insert', and `pop-to-buffer'.
