  @vindex compile-command
!   When the shell command line is read, the minibuffer appears
! containing a default command line, which is the command you used the
! last time you did @kbd{M-x compile}.  If you type just @key{RET}, the
! same command line is used again.  For the first @kbd{M-x compile}, the
! default is @samp{make -k}, which is correct most of the time for
! nontrivial programs.  (@xref{Top,, Make, make, GNU Make Manual}.)
! The default compilation command comes from the variable
! @code{compile-command}; if the appropriate compilation command for a
! file is something other than @samp{make -k}, it can be useful for the
! file to specify a local value for @code{compile-command} (@pxref{File
! Variables}).
  
    Starting a compilation displays the buffer @samp{*compilation*} in
  another window but does not select it.  The buffer's mode line tells

! (@xref{Top,, Make, make, GNU Make Manual}.)  If you have done @kbd{M-x
! compile} before, the default each time is the command you used the
! previous time.  @code{compile} stores this command in the variable
! @code{compile-command}, so setting that variable specifies the default
! for the next use of @kbd{M-x compile}.  If a file specifies a file
! local value for @code{compile-command}, that provides the default when
! you type @kbd{M-x compile} in that file's buffer.  @xref{File

  if the current buffer can be the target of @code{next-error}, it is
  used.  Else, all the buffers Emacs manages are tried for
  @code{next-error} support.
+ 
+   If you're not in the compilation buffer when you run
+ @code{next-error}, Emacs will look for a buffer that contains error
+ messages.  First, it looks for one displayed in the selected frame,
+ then for one that previously had @code{next-error} called on it, and
+ then at the current buffer.  Finally, Emacs looks at all the remaining
+ buffers.  @code{next-error} signals an error if it can't find any such
+ buffer.
  
    @kbd{C-u C-x `} starts scanning from the beginning of the compilation
  buffer.  This is one way to process the same set of errors again.
