Letting hooks?

[Eric Abrahamsen]

I'm trying to temporarily add a function to a hook within the space of
one function. I've tried a bunch of stuff and nothing's worked properly,
and I suspect I'm just doing the Wrong Thing. Everything I've tried has
been along the lines of:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-function ()
  (let ((grommet-created-hook
         (push my-hook-function
               grommet-created-hook)))
    (create-grommet)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I've tried it with append and copy-sequence, everything blows up in
different ways.

Is this simply the wrong approach, or have I just not tried the right
commands? All advice appreciated!

Eric
