CRM in Buffer List

CRM in Buffer List

[Bob Nelson]

What do the letters ``CRM'' mean in the Buffer List (C-b C-x). The GNU Emacs
(22.1) info manual explains the contents of what's present but doesn't
treat the ``CRM''.

And where _should_ I have looked in the GNU Emacs manuals to avoid bothering
the contributors to this newsgroup?

M == modified.
R -- read-only

So what does 'C' stand for? C == came?

No, C == current.
