  SHOW BUFFERS

  Lists the buffers you created and puts the cursor in the list so you can
  view or delete a buffer without having to type the buffer name.

  Steps:

     1.  Use the SHOW BUFFERS command to list the buffers you created.

         The Buffer List appears in the current window. The name of the
         buffer you were last editing or viewing is highlighted in bold
         video with the cursor on the name of that buffer (unless you were
         in a system buffer).

     2.  Move the cursor to the name of a buffer in the list. You can put
         the cursor anywhere on the line referring to that buffer.
         If the buffer name is long so that the buffer line count and
         attributes are wrapped onto a second line, you can also put the
         cursor anywhere on that second line.

     3.  To put that buffer into the current window, use SELECT or RETURN.
         To delete that buffer, use REMOVE, CUT, or BOX CUT.

  Usage notes:

  o  Using the Buffer List to view or delete a buffer is effectively the
     same as using the BUFFER or DELETE BUFFER command respectively, without
     having to type the buffer name.

  o  To write out the Buffer List in case you want to keep a list of the
     files you edited, do the following:

     1.  Use SHOW BUFFERS to get a list of your buffers and put you in the
         Buffer List.

     2.  Use the WRITE FILE command to write the Buffer List to a file:

            Command: WRITE FILE edited_monday.lis
