Why would another buffer make a difference? Because although I use Iswitch buffer, when I have *Compile-log* *Completions* and some other file I might be visiting that happens to begin with Comp it becomes for me at least, a little extra step to type out the buffer name. (or enough of the buffer name to be unique) Maybe its because I am relatively new to emacs and this is the way it works, you just get used to having lots of buffers? I will bind something to bury-buffer I suppose. >> ,---- >> | (setq remove-help-window t) >> `---- > I don't see such a variable in my Emacs. Where did you hear about it?

I dont care really if emacs has to recreate the buffer but I see your point though about forgetting something and having to take another look.
