In Emacs how to switch to other buffer?

The problem is following: I want to automate the way my emacs starts. It has to be split in two buffers and the slime-repl has to be started in the smallest (bottom) buffer. Plus, I want my file to be opened in the bigger (upper) buffer. In my .emacs there are lines:

(slime)
...
(split-window-vertically -6)
(switch-to-buffer (other-buffer))
(find-file "g:/Private/pa/pa2.lsp")

SLIME opens o.k. in the bottom buffer, but the file is opened in one of the background buffers, while I want it to be in front.

How to fix this?

Try to add

(ido-mode 1)

to your .emacs, and enjoy the result :)

Instead of switch-to-buffer, use function pop-to-buffer.

(pop-to-buffer BUFFER-OR-NAME &optional OTHER-WINDOW NORECORD)

Select buffer BUFFER-OR-NAME in some window, preferably a different one.

You can look to the function set-window-configuration...

But for slime you can use following functions - slime-complete-maybe-save-window-configuration & slime-complete-restore-window-configuration

Try:

(other-window 1)
(find-file "g:/Private/pa/pa2.lsp")

instead of your last two lines.
