After C-x b, you can go through all the possible elements (buffer names) right inside the minibuffer by repeating C-s as many times as adequate. Also note, that when you type something into the minibuffer (after C-x b) it is not necessarily the beginnig of a buffer's name: it can be the middle or end of it: e.g. if you have several abcdefghijkl....txt buffers but want to visit the only one abcdefghijkl...hlp, then you can type ".h" and it will skip to the desired file immediately... Maybe you have to set the variable icomplete-mode to t in your .emacs file for this? Br, P
