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