@section The Buffer List
@cindex buffer list
- The @dfn{buffer list} is a list of all live buffers. Creating a
-buffer adds it to this list, and killing a buffer removes it. The
-order of the buffers in the list is based primarily on how recently
-each buffer has been displayed in the selected window. Buffers move
-to the front of the list when they are selected (selecting a window
-that already displays the buffer counts as selecting the buffer), and

In addition to the fundamental Emacs buffer list, each frame has its
own version of the buffer list, in which the buffers that have been
selected in that frame come first, starting with the buffers most
