The first buffer is a *scratch* buffer, the modeline starts "--:". The
second contains the *.el file mentioned in the original post; its
modeline begins "-:".
Good analogy about currency. Via email I get all kinds. I want to
convert it all into something I can use... otherwise it's garbage. So I
want to convert it into something I can use. But emacs isn't letting me
convert it because it's converting it to something else which it won't
let me insert into my conversion function's buffer/file.
