+buffer,'' we are talking about the current buffer.
@var{line} is @samp{L} followed by the current line number of point.
This is present when Line Number mode is enabled (which it normally is).
Commands to move point affect the value of point for the selected Emacs
window only. They do not change the value of point in any other Emacs

-such as @kbd{C-x b} to change the selected buffer in the selected window;

they do not affect other windows at all. However, there are other commands
