The command @kbd{C-y} (@code{yank}) reinserts the text of the most recent
kill. It leaves the cursor at the end of the text. It sets the mark at
the beginning of the text. @xref{Mark}.
@kbd{C-u C-y} leaves the cursor in front of the text, and sets the
mark after it. This happens only if the argument is specified with just
a @kbd{C-u}, precisely. Any other sort of argument, including @kbd{C-u}
and digits, specifies an earlier kill to yank (@pxref{Earlier Kills}).
The command @kbd{C-y} (@code{yank}) reinserts the text of the most
recent kill, leaving the cursor at the end of the text. It also adds
the position of the beginning of the text to the mark ring, without
activating the mark; this allows you to jump easily to that position
with @kbd{C-@key{SPC}} (@pxref{Mark Ring}). With a plain prefix
argument (@kbd{C-u C-y}), it instead leaves the cursor in front of the
text, and adds the position of the end of the text to the mark ring.
Using other sort of prefix argument specifies an earlier kill; for
example, @kbd{C-u 4 C-y} reinserts the fourth most recent kill.

To retrieve the accumulated text from another buffer, use the
command @kbd{M-x insert-buffer}; this too takes @var{buffername} as an
argument. It inserts a copy of the whole text in buffer
@var{buffername} into the current buffer at point, and sets the mark
after the inserted text. Alternatively, you can select the other
buffer for editing, then copy text from it by killing.
@xref{Buffers}, for background information on buffers.
The command @kbd{M-x insert-buffer} can be used to retrieve the
accumulated text from another buffer. This prompts for the name of a
buffer, and inserts a copy of all the text in that buffer into the
current buffer at point, leaving point at the beginning of the
inserted text. It also adds the position of the end of the inserted
text to the mark ring, without activating the mark. @xref{Buffers},

Instead of accumulating text within Emacs, in a buffer, you can append
text directly into a file with @kbd{M-x append-to-file}, which takes
