I found the section in the Emacs manual on how to make buffer names unique (16.7.1), but am having trouble actually getting that to work for me. I'm sure it must be something I'm doing wrong. I tried putting (setq uniquify-buffer-name-style "forward") in my .emacs file, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Would anybody mind explaining to me how to user the forward naming method for my buffers? Thanks!
