You can write such a general command, by studying this function:
(defun print-roll-outs (chainrings sprockets bsd tire)
(let ((out-buffer (get-buffer-create "*gears*")))
(with-current-buffer out-buffer
(goto-char (point-max))
(print-intro-data chainrings sprockets bsd tire)
(let ((ros (all-roll-outs chainrings sprockets bsd tire)))
(cl-loop for ro in ros do
(let ((c ( car ro))
(s ( cadr ro))
(r (cl-caddr ro)))
(insert (format "% 9d% 14d% 15.0f\n" c s r)) ))))
(pop-to-buffer out-buffer) ))
In particular, `get-buffer-create', `with-current-buffer', `insert',
and `pop-to-buffer'.
