   an explicit buffer name.

   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.

   line to specify all defined keys or a group of related keys. If
   you press the Return key before specifying a key, LSE supplies

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