Say I open vim7's new super duper file explorer

the standard way to do that?
I can use <C-O> to eventually land up where I was
but I need to backtrack all the motion commands I
did in the netrw buffer.
I thought of using :q but that closes vim if only
one window is open.
Am I missing something obvious?
You can try using CTRL-^ to jump to the alternate buffer.
But for some reason, this doesn't work right after starting
up Vim. It works after that.
$ vim xyz.txt
:e .
If you press CTRL-^ now to jump to the alternate buffer,
it says, "E23: No alternate file". But if you do the following,
then it works.
$ vim xyz.txt
:e .
:e xyz.txt
Now, you can use CTRL-^ to jump between netrw buffer
and xyz.txt file.
This looks like a bug in netrw.
