Thanks for this. I've never wanted to eliminate all pop-up windows, and this allows me to keep them and have C-x C-b work like I want it to work. Emacs, org-mode, and the org-mode community are the best! This is off-topic and it is certainly not new to long-time users of Emacs, but I found the following discussion of the buffer menu on EmacsWiki to be most enlightening. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BufferMenu Scott
