+   @kbd{C-u M-g M-g}, that is @code{goto-line} with a prefix argument
+ of just @kbd{C-u}, reads a number @var{n} using the minibuffer,
+ selects the most recently selected buffer other than the current
+ buffer in another window, and then moves point to the beginning of
+ line number @var{n} in that buffer.  This is mainly useful in a buffer
+ that refers to line numbers in another buffer: if point is on or just
+ after a number, @code{goto-line} uses that number as the default for
+ @var{n}.  Note that prefix arguments other than just @kbd{C-u} behave
+ differently.  @kbd{C-u 4 M-g M-g} goes to line 4 in the @emph{current}
+ buffer, without reading a number from the minibuffer.  (Remember that
+ @kbd{M-g M-g} without prefix argument reads a number @var{n} and then
+ moves to line number @var{n} in the current buffer.)

    Emacs uses buffer names that start with a space for internal purposes.
  It treats these buffers specially in minor ways---for example, by
  default they do not record undo information.  It is best to avoid using
