I have found myself on many occasions, within one buffer while a Buffer List,
or Dired is in the other buffer. I can scroll that other buffer without
leaving the safety and security of my own buffer using M<page down/up>.
But I'd really like to be able to a remote Cn, Cp & f without leaving my own
buffer. Is this possible in emacs? Basically, select lines from that other
buffer and open new buffers without leaving my own buffers.
thx much
Eric

No, I don't think this is (easily) possible. There is vcursor.el
which gives you a second cursor, so to speak. But it is for
navigating the current buffer only -- though it does auto-split the
window when necessary.
Maybe what you really want is to set a global mark and to then return
it it later on. Hm. With CUA mode, it seems that C-SPC pushes the
global mark and then you can use C-x C-@ to jump back to it.
