However, it is usually possible to tickle the answer to almost
everything out of comp.lang.lisp:-). I would do

(pushnew "*Buffer List*" same-window-buffer-names :test 'equal)

PS: To make this work, you have to call
(require 'cl)
in your .emacs first (which moves Elisp a little closer to CL).
Alternatively,
(push "*Buffer List*" same-window-buffer-names)
should work.

As a Lisp noob also, I urge you to do the following in strict order:

1. STOP coding Lisp - not now -- but /right now/!

2. start the emacs editor, and issue the following command to emacs: ^h-t
that means Control-H t. You will then be in the tutorial. /Please/ take
the time to work yourself through the emacs tutorial.

3. At the command prompt of your terminal, execute the following command:
info emacs

Please read all the menu items. Doing this will familiarize
you with the capabilities of the single most important tool you need to
be comfortable with, /and/ how to use that tool.

4. /If/ you use SLIME, go to your terminal, and execute the following command:
info SLIME

Please read /all/ the menu items. Familiarize yourself with this Lisp
programming tool by reading its documentation first.

5. Go to this URL: http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/
Work your way through the book - page by page; chapter by chapter.

If you do the above, beginning /now/, you will hugely reduce /your/ level of
frustration, and increase your rate of learning the entire Lisp programming
environment. Best...

That's nice, read all that you can about lisp.
In few questions I asked here I familiarized myself with emacs
more than reading a book.
It would be even better for me to pay someone who knows lisp and emacs
and pay him/her for hour our two just to answer my questions.
That's like reading three books.

Then you are being presumptuous and impertinent young man. Why do you presume
to think that you are /entitled/ to the gracious help of the Lisp masters
that read this NG, without so much as having the courtesy and respect for
them of at /least/ making an effort to help yourself? Does the world revolve
around you? It's simply bad manners to be so presumptuous, and there's
/never/ any excuse for bad manners. It's time for you to grow up, I'd say.
