( I AM POSTING THIS FOR A FRIEND, BUT PLEASE MAIL TO jhe@dcs.ed.ac.uk )

Hello,

I am trying to write a piece of code in GNU Emacs Lisp.

Does anybody know how I might select some text from the current buffer and copy it
into a second buffer?  Also, if the copied text is altered, how to replace the copied
text into the original buffer. 

A secondary problem is how to process a buffer and create a data structure(whatever
the data structure might be) of the words in a sentence.

This, if you are interested, is for a grammar checking integrated into GNU Emacs.

Thanks

Alan Taylor.
