Well, I found a different way to do this that is probably obvious
to anyone who's been hacking lisp for even a short while.  

I made an a-list called rserver-alist which stored the
information globally.  The key to the a-list was the
buffer name and I could get the value I wanted from there.
What a bargain!  :-).
