One way to do that is to go to the Buffer List, type "k" on each line corresponding to a buffer you want to kill, then hit "x" when you're finished. Go to help for Buffer Menu mode (C-h m in the Buffer List) to see other things you can do there. To keep this on-topic, I'll note that I learned this trick from Philip Greenspun when I was working at arsDigita. :) Walt
