Just to make sure you also know these alternatives:
- Instead of using buffer *scratch*, you can always use a different buffer
in Emacs Lisp mode. Find-file foo.el, for instance.
- You can `write-file' buffer *scratch* into a file, to save its contents.
Buffer *scratch* is just a buffer in Emacs Lisp mode, more or less.

Excellent idea. I'm adding this to my .emacs right away, and thanks.
