I'd like to have a function that can type into my *top-listener*.

By that, I mean that instead of just having a function that prints to my
listener, it will actually make the listener think that the user typed
some text.

For instance, if my listener was looking like:

? (foo

and I ran (type-to-listener " bar)"

my listener would now look like:

? (foo bar)

AND everything would be in boldface, because the listener would think that
I actually typed " bar)". If I use "format", the listener won't believe
that I typed the text.

Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
