Thanks Teemu ... I am aware of elisp. What I am looking for are general tips
on how one goes about actually writing them in real time ( while editing
some text) ... for example, if I do a kill and want to yank 10 times, What
I'd do is M-:(dotimes (i 10) (yank))

but is that the recommended way or would writing the script in the main
buffer and executing it with C-x-e better ... or is there an even better
way?

Regards,
Kashyap
