In GNU Emacs 18.55.6 of Fri Jul 20 1990 on ittc (berkeley-unix)

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".
