It has shortcuts for directly marking help buffers and > "old" buffers. Then, you can delete marked buffers with D. Just tried ibuffer. looks like you can mark buffers with "d", "D" is not required. Doesn't look quite as good as electric and acts a bit weird. You select with return instead of space. I don't know what that line that says Default is but when I selected it, it appeared to select itself but with no content. It contains a blank line and total at the end and it lets you cursor into them. It appears to show itself in the buffer list. Not switching any time soon. -- Dan Espen
