After 'j', I don't go back to 'a'.  I get "No more files to edit" until
I ":rewind"

So it's probably something in my .vilerc?  Hmm...

I have "set noautobuffer" .  And now I see this:

   :n
           Go to the next buffer. "Next" means "least recently used" in
           autobuffer mode. In noautobuffer mode, "next" means next in
           numeric sequence. (The ":n file ..." version of the command is not
           supported.)

   :rewind
           Go to the first buffer. This is used only in 'noautobuffer'
           (vi-style buffering) mode. It does nothing in "autobuffer" mode.  
           Remember that "autobuffer" mode is the default.


I think that is my problem.  I took out "set noautobuffer" and it does
what I want.  So I don't remember when or why I decided to
set noautobuffer, and I don't know if autobuffer/noautobuffer mode 
may have changed recently, but I guess I don't want it any more.

Thanks for the help.
