Here's a piece of code:

(defun tst ()
  (set-buffer (get-buffer "hello"))
  (goto-char (point-max))
  (insert-string "Hello World\n")
  (goto-char (point-max)))

(You'll have to create the buffer "hello" first).

  If you (tst) in buffer hello you'll end up at the end.
  If you (tst) when buffer hello is NOT displayed, then switch to it, you'll
end up at the end.
  If you have buffer hello displayed in a different window, then
(tst), you'll end up with dot unchanged.
