I suspect they're not null. Based on my own experience, I guess what happened is that t-m-f-u hasn't been run in a while so there were a lot of updates. > So now I've got the hassle of getting rid of these 44 "changed" buffers, > when all I really wanted to do was update the main menu.

No, it wouldn't, because there's an excellent chance you'd screw up t-m-f-u and somebody would have to fix things eventually. > What do other people do when they want to update the main menu? t-m-f-u followed by C-x C-b. In XEmacs, I can't sort on the mode AFAIK, which would be really convenient when I've got 100 other buffers open.
