Sorry if this is "basic" to you, but I didn't get a lot of what you're saying.

First of all, there is no `list-all-buffers', do you mean `list-buffers'?
And are you saying that after "closing" a buffer, it will still be there?

I think Xah's point was that it didn't, which I can confirm.  Is
something missing in the example?

Huh?  File->Close is an alias for kill-this-buffer.  If that isn't meant
to be destructive, I don't know what is...
