[gnu.emacs.bug] Moving the mark

stone@BADEN.AI.MIT.EDU (David Goldstone) (01/27/89)

Is it possible to write a function (and then bind it to a key) which
would do your next command to the mark.  For example, doing the
command, and then M-< would move the mark (instead of the point) to
the beginnning of the file.  This would be especially usefull on slow
dialup lines.

I would imagine the function could be written by setting the mark,
waiting for the next command as input, doing it, and doing c-x c-x,
but I dont know how to wait for input...
