Begin editing a buffer listing all Emacs buffers.

+Similar, but do it in another window.

@findex buffer-menu
- The command @code{buffer-menu} writes a list of all Emacs buffers into
+@findex buffer-menu-other-window
+ The command @code{buffer-menu} writes a list of all Emacs
+buffers@footnote{Buffers which don't visit files and whose names begin
+with a space are omitted: these are used internally by Emacs.} into
the buffer @samp{*Buffer List*}, and selects that buffer in Buffer Menu
mode. The buffer is read-only, and can be changed only through the
special commands described in this section. The usual Emacs cursor
List*} to show what you have done is to type @kbd{g}
(@code{revert-buffer}) or repeat the @code{buffer-menu} command.
+ The command @code{buffer-menu-other-window} works the same as
+@code{buffer-menu}, except that it displays the buffers list in
+another window.
