I forgot that this function is in my .emacs file.   I always
thought it was built in to GNU Emacs.

Here it is....


(defun prefix-region (prefix)
  "Add a prefix string to each line between mark and point."
  (interactive "sPrefix string: ")
  (if prefix
      (let ((count (count-lines (mark) (point))))
        (goto-char (min (mark) (point)))
        (while (> count 0)
          (setq count (1- count))
          (beginning-of-line 1)
          (insert prefix)
          (end-of-line 1)
          (forward-char 1)))))
