Most often, I just want to bury the buffer, not delete it. Your two examples of buffers you want to delete are buffers I tend to want to look at again, the ones created by `M-x compile' and `C-h f' (describe-function). To me, it looks that you want `C-x 4 0' (kill-buffer-and-window) to be documented more prominently. What would you like specifically? Put another way, how should we change the documentation in (emacs)Change Window? Right now `C-x 4 0' is third in the sequence, after `C-x 0' and `C-x 1'. That looks right to me. -- Robert J.
