Myself, I look at *Buffer List* to remind me what I've recently been interested in or working on. But, when going through my personal directory (cleaning it up), I'll see a file-name whose contents I don't reacall, so I'll (dired) C-v it, and say to myself, yeah, I don't want to delete it, but I probably won't look at it for quite a while, certainly no time soon. Unfortuantely, that currently-uninteresting file is now sitting at the VERY TOP of *Buffer List*. So, how to make a new "(Buffer Menu) mode" command that says "move the currently pointed-at buffer DOWN that list? Maybe default to (very near?) the bottom of the list. Maybe if prefix arg: %20 means jump it to 20% down the list (from where it is now?) 20 means jump it to 20 buffer-names further down the list. And maybe if *negative*, that far up, or up from the bottom? Any ideas? David
