I got into a dired-buf, did C-h k, and typed in Q, and got this: q runs the command quit-window which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `window'. It is bound to q. (quit-window &optional KILL WINDOW) Quit the current buffer. Bury it, and maybe delete the selected frame. (The frame is deleted if it is contains a dedicated window for the buffer.) With a prefix argument, kill the buffer instead. Noninteractively, if KILL is non-nil, then kill the current buffer, otherwise bury it. If WINDOW is non-nil, it specifies a window; we delete that window, and the buffer that is killed or buried is the one in that window. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, David
