[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 10714 bytes --]

Emacs 19 manual described a function called `next-file' (under "Editing
Programs").  This section was dropped some time, and the `next-file'
command hasn't been working either.  The attached patch

- adds back a paragraph on `next-file' to the manual, and

- proposes a fix for the `next-file' function using `switch-to-buffer'
instead of `set-buffer'.  This may not be the best possible fix, but it
at least works.  

Cheers,
Uday
