-An Emacs buffer is the equivalent of window / tab in other editors. It can have a file associated with it that you can (or cannot depending on the privileges) edit or a background process (e.g. when you open the shell: ''M-x shell''). The minibuffer is usually a one-line part of the screen at the bottom of the Emacs window. The cursor in Emacs is called the point. Dired is the directory explorer mode of Emacs.+An Emacs //buffer// is the equivalent of window / tab in other editors.
