  @cindex mark ring
  
    One special marker in each buffer is designated @dfn{the mark}.  It
! records a position for the user for the sake of commands such as
! @code{kill-region} and @code{indent-rigidly}.  Lisp programs should set
! the mark only to values that have a potential use to the user, and never
! for their own internal purposes.  For example, the @code{replace-regexp}
! command sets the mark to the value of point before doing any
! replacements, because this enables the user to move back there
! conveniently after the replace is finished.
! 
!   Many commands are designed so that when called interactively they
! operate on the text between point and the mark.  If you are writing such
! a command, don't examine the mark directly; instead, use
  @code{interactive} with the @samp{r} specification.  This provides the
  values of point and the mark as arguments to the command in an
  interactive call, but permits other Lisp programs to specify arguments

  @cindex mark ring
  
    One special marker in each buffer is designated @dfn{the mark}.  It
