Re: build-and-save-all

[Rodrigo Canellas]

Well, I know that the name of file is 'makefile', so I understand is the name 
of the buffer. I believe there is a function in 'emacs' that returns a list 
of the name of the buffers, and I hope there is another one that returns a 
reference to a buffer given its name, and finally another one that makes a 
buffer the current one, given a reference to it.

As you see, I only have hopes, but I am not sure of none of them. I must add 
that I never wrote a single line of code in Lisp. Yes, I gave myself a big 
trouble. 8)
