+  The command @kbd{M-x make-indirect-buffer} creates an indirect buffer

+  The command @kbd{M-x clone-indirect-buffer} creates an indirect buffer
+whose base buffer is the current buffer, and also selects the
+newly-created indirect buffer.  With a numeric argument, it prompts for
+the name of the indirect buffer; otherwise it defaults to the name of
+the current buffer, modifying it by adding a @samp{<@var{n}>} prefix if
+required.  @kbd{C-x 4 c} (@code{clone-indirect-buffer-other-window})
+works like @kbd{M-x clone-indirect-buffer}, but it selects the cloned
+buffer in another window.
