680 The @dfn{buffer list} is a list of all live buffers. Creating a 680 The @dfn{buffer list} is a list of all live buffers. Creating a
681 buffer adds it to this list, and killing a buffer excises it. The order 681 buffer adds it to this list, and killing a buffer removes it. The
682 of the buffers in the list is based primarily on how recently each 682 order of the buffers in the list is based primarily on how recently
683 buffer has been displayed in the selected window. Buffers move to the 683 each buffer has been displayed in the selected window. Buffers move
684 front of the list when they are selected and to the end when they are 684 to the front of the list when they are selected (selecting a window
685 buried (see @code{bury-buffer}, below). Several functions, notably 685 that already displays the buffer counts as selecting the buffer), and
686 @code{other-buffer}, use this ordering. A buffer list displayed for the 686 to the end when they are buried (see @code{bury-buffer}, below).
