most recent files

[Frank Murray]

Hello,

   A easy and quick question (I believe) regarding accessing files  
in Emacs.
I'm running Emacs v21.2 on a Terminal window under Mac OS X.

Is there a way to access or bring up quickly the x most recent files  
or programs you had just been working on,
i.e., x = 10,  15,  20, ..., etc.?

I know <ctrl>-x <ctrl>-f brings up your staring point in the  
terminal, "Find File ~/" and then you have to go searching.

So, any information is appreciated.  Thanks.
