  Transient Mark mode is enabled).  All the primitives that change the
  buffer set @code{deactivate-mark}, to deactivate the mark when the

+ deactivation of the mark at the end of the command, bind
+ @code{deactivate-mark} to @code{nil} around the code that does the
+ modification.  For example:
+ 
+ @example
+ (let (deactivate-mark)
+   (insert " "))
+ @end example
  @end defvar
  
  @defun deactivate-mark
