Moving cursor on another window

[Uday S Reddy]

This might be a simple issue, but I could'nt find the answer.

If I have multiple windows showing (with different buffers in them), and 
I want to move the cursor in a window other than the current one, how is 
that supposed to be done?  The following pattern of code doesn't seem to 
work:

  (with-current-buffer other-buffer
     (beginning-of-buffer))

It works if the other-buffer is not currently displayed in a window. 
But if it is displayed, the cursor remains unchanged.  I guess there is 
some implicit save-excursion at the top level somewhere.  I can't see 
how to get around it.

Cheers,
Uday
