Since *info* and *Help* buffers are never(?) marked as modified, I guess it's actually save-buffers-kill-emacs (C-x C-c) that's holding you up, not kill-buffer (C-x k). And that means it's buffer-offer-save that's at fault, not kill-buffer-query-functions. So maybe you just want to turn on buffer-offer-save for buffers you explictly create, as with switch-to-buffer (C-x b), instead of buffers Emacs creates for you: (defadvice switch-to-buffer (after buffer-offer-save activate) "Set `buffer-offer-save' when called interactively." (and (interactive-p) (setq buffer-offer-save t))) ; automatically local in all buffers -- Kevin Rodgers
