Some versions of MicroEmacs have a next-buffer function to rotate through
the open files but I can't find anything like this in GNU EMACS. Is there
any way to do this other than by selecting each file from the buffer
list?

There is M-x bury-buffer RET which allows you to rotate through the
open buffers.  (That may include non-file buffers.)

There are various add-on packages which allow you to rotate through
the buffer list.  An included one is iswitchb.  If you put
(iswitchb-default-keybindings) in ~/.emacs, then you can do C-x b and
then use C-s to rotate forward and C-r to rotate backward through the
buffer list.  After finding the right buffer, hit RET.

Use cyclebuffer.el from the emacs lisp list or bs.el which ships
with emacs.

   I redefined C-x C-b to bs-show which is a much better
   buffer listing with lots of commands for dealing with
   and switching to buffers.  The file bs.el (should be
   included with emacs) also includes commands for
   cycling the buffer forward and backward, which I bound
   to M-n and M-p, they also show a list (in the
   minibuffer) of the buffers in the order they will be
   cycled through. They are bs-cycle-next and 
   bs-cycle-previous.
