they are in buffers in the same windows, a "bunch" i meant 3-4 split horizontally. When i run the command only the buffer that happened to have the cursor in it (the active buffer?) is positioned at the end of the file. All of them are reloaded though. What I expected to happen is all files to be refreshed with all buffers showing the last couple of lines of each file.

If you have appropriate autocmds defined, switching back to another buffer in the same window would have the cursor on the last line, however without a "restore last position" autocmd it would probably just go back to the beginning of the file. The 'hidden' option may help there, I'm not 100% sure.

I did try the hidden option. did not seem to make a difference. Note that when i open the files in tabs and do the same with :tabdo everything works fine.

I will read up on autocmds, still ascending on the learning curve :-)

Thanks for the help!
