I just didn't know how to pass the two number argument(START and END) after "<ALT> x". With your advice, I understand, just use mouse to "create" the "active mask" in oldbuf, then do "<ALT> x append-to-buffer buffer".
It works now.
Thank you!

Wu,

To use "append-to-buffer" interactively simply type "M-x append-to-buffer" (where M-x is "<ESC> x" or possibly "<ALT> x").

To use it in another Emacs Lisp program:
1. Determine the BUFFER that you want to append to.
2. Calculate the START and END locations in the current buffer
   that define the text to be appended.
3. In your defun simply write:
       (append-to-buffer BUFFER START END)

I hope this helps.
