Re: primitive to fill a buffer
Thanks for the reply. Actually the parser already exists as part of a
stand-alone executable. It has been ported to many platforms including
Classic MacOS (which to the best of my knowledge does not support stdout).
Additionally, I eventually want to select parts of the buffer to pass to
the rest of the program (or process with elisp functions then pass on
etc), which I would also like to call as a primitive (incidentally the
other program is Csound, or a branch of it called icsound).
I want to combine the functionality of csound with Xemacs to create an IDE
for csound. Is this madness?
From the name of it I assume that file-name-handler-alist exists for
this
reason (ie to handle certain files differently from standard text files if
necessary). Am I wrong? If that is its purpose, how is it used?

Then look at `start-process' or something like that.
