91 hidden. The command will not be stopped. The `:buffer` command can be used | |
92 to turn the current window into a terminal window. If there are unsaved | |
93 changes this fails, use ! to force, as usual. | |

96 window will wipe out the buffer. | |

98 Before changes can be made to a terminal buffer, the 'modifiable' option must | |
99 be set. This is only possible when the job has finished. At the first change | |
100 the buffer will become a normal buffer and the highlighting is removed. | |
101 You may want to change the buffer name with |:file| to be able to write, since | |
102 the buffer name will still be set to the command. | |
