 @vindex confirm-nonexistent-file-or-buffer
   The variable @code{confirm-nonexistent-file-or-buffer} controls
-whether Emacs asks for confirmation before visiting a new buffer.  The
-default value, @code{after-completion}, gives the behavior we have
-just described.  If the value is @code{nil}, Emacs never asks for
-confirmation; for any other non-@code{nil} value, Emacs always asks
-for confirmation.  This variable also affects the @code{find-file}
-command (@pxref{Visiting}).

-  One reason to switch to a new buffer is to use it for making
-temporary notes.  If you try to save it, you are asked for the file
-name to use.  The new buffer's major mode is determined by the
-variable @code{default-major-mode}; the default value is Fundamental
-mode.  @xref{Major Modes}.
