We don't use that convention in Emacs Lisp, so please don't use it in your programs. (Emacsuses such names only for special-purpose buffers.)Can anyone expand on this? When exactly should buffer names include or not include asteri?
I don't know about "exactly", but I think the convention is buffers that are not visiting files. (Not that buffer names have anything to do with variable names.) P.S. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/asteri -- Kevin Rodgers Denver, Colorado, USA
