... not the only differences. I have given detail on other differences. Yes. Please note that the post you quoted was sent after my message, so the other difference hadn't been made clear at that time. • There is no easy, intuitive way to create multiple scratch buffers. (it is done by using the switch-to-buffer command (C-x b) and give name that is not one of existing buffers.) But on the other hand, creating multiple scratch ...

...all without exception. What you wrote has been refuted by counterexample. (Guess what I subject I graduated in!) Take it as a free lesson in English. ;-) * By adopting the New Buffer and Ctrl+n, users can intuitively create multiple scratch buffers for any purpose. Being able to create several *scratch*'es might well be useful. Yes. Thank you. Taking another look at my .emacs, I see I've got M-n bound for this...

...at this and a little more knowing at that? Or is there more still? The near term depends a lot on how the economy goes. The long term, if not before, will be dominated by women. The intuitive skill of the smart female mind appreciates ambiguity and wont tolerate the conviction of the Levantine religions, or believe their claims of literal truth in scripture. They will value the input from Aspergers and geeks for the creative and ...

The 2 practical methods to create a new buffer, by find-file or switch-to-buffer, are both not designed to create a new buffer for temp use, and each has serious problems in my opinion. • There is no easy, intuitive way to create multiple scratch buffers.
