How can I decide if a buffer exists given it's name. I want to do this on
several occasions i.e. if a buffer exists go to it otherwise create a new
buffer. What I want to do is avoid extra work if a buffer already has what
I need in it. I tried using the set-buffer function but it keeps telling
me "No buffer named XXXX".
