Subject: "`read-from-buffer'" functionality
Date: Sat, 05 Mar 2005 20:12:30 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1D7lFu-0001V0-00@lab45.ma.utexas.edu> (raw)
I would like to get user input in the form of text from a new buffer.
(w3 does something like this when you edit a text form.)
There doesn't seem to be a built-in function for popping to the new
buffer, waiting until C-c C-c is pressed (say), and then returning the
buffer's contents as a string.
Presumably that means it isn't too hard to code this using more basic
functions, but user input on a whole is new to me and I was wondering
if anyone with more experience in these matters could give me some
tips.
