I think for the Buffer-menu case, it would be enough to add the usual
`Switch to Buffer' command as a special entry. If, for instance the
menu looked like this:
+-------------------------------+
|Buffer 1 |
|Buffer 2 |
|... |
|-------------------------------|
|Select Named Buffer (C-x b) |
|List All Buffers (C-x C-b)|
+-------------------------------+
Then users would figure it out. Currently emacs has the `List All
Buffers' command in the Buffers menu, but not `Select Named Buffer'
(I don't know about xemacs).
[Incidentally, there probably should be a separator line between the
buffer names and the commands in that menu -- currently there's not.]
