The argument buffer is the buffer in which to exchange the point and mark. The default value is the current buffer.
Arguments:
number
Key sequence:
Meta+@
Marks the word following the current point. A prefix argument, if supplied, specifies the number of words marked.
Arguments: None

Arguments: None
Key sequence:
Meta+H
Puts the mark at the end of the current paragraph and the current point at the start of the current paragraph. The paragraph thereby becomes the current region. If the current point is initially located between two paragraphs, then the mark and current point are placed around the next paragraph.
Arguments: None
Key sequence:
Ctrl+X H
Sets the mark at the end of the current buffer and the current point at the beginning of the current buffer. The current region is thereby set as the whole of the buffer.
A non-nil prefix argument causes the mark to be set as the start of the buffer and the current point at the end.
