 qualifier if you specify an explicit buffer name.

/BRIEF

 Causes the current window to display (in tabular
 format) the name, number of text lines, and information
 about whether the buffer is modified, compiled,
 reviewed, or modifiable.

 If you move the cursor to a line containing a buffer
 name and press the Select key, LSE performs a GOTO
 BUFFER command for that buffer. If you move the cursor
 to a line containing a buffer name and press the Remove
 key, LSE performs a DELETE BUFFER command for that
 buffer. In DECwindows mode, you can perform a GOTO
 BUFFER for a buffer displayed in the list by pressing
 MB1 twice on the line containing the buffer name.

 If you specify a wildcard expression, or if LSE assumes
 one, /BRIEF is the default.

/FULL

 Causes LSE to list all the information available about
 each indicated buffer, including associated input and
 output files, language, and all the buffer attributes
 that you can set, such as margins and text-entry mode.

 If you specify an explicit buffer, /FULL is the
 default.

 a wildcard buffer name is specified or assumed. LSE
 ignores this qualifier if you specify an explicit

 an asterisk specified at the prompt as the asterisk key
 on the keyboard and not as a wildcard character.
