Yes, the only reason i used "insert-file" as the emacs command was
because this is the only elisp function that i could remember off the
top of my head which would have this effect :) 

Breifly looking at the elisp docs i find that there is an  (insert
"text") function which does exactly the correct thing, doh!. 

i've quickly looked at the code for emacsclient  and the protocol is
very simple

for emacs 22 the default socket address is /tmp/emacs$UID/server (in
emacs 21 this is something else) 

for a given command like
emacsclient.emacs-snapshot -e '(insert "foo")'
