Hi all
I know this should be easy (for anyone that knows elisp that is :)). how
does one create a function that cycles up/down through a list of pre
defined buffers/files?
for example i want to cycle (ie open and show in the emacs window) through:
A.org B.org C.org
i want to use ie A-left and A-right to open (if not already) and cycle
through these files. any one has such a system?

this feels kind of hacky, but it seems to do what you want:
(setq my-files '("a.org" "b.org" "c.org"))
(defun my-next-file ()
(interactive)
(let ((f (pop my-files)))
(add-to-list 'my-files f t)
(find-file f)))
(defun my-previous-file ()
(interactive)
(let* ((r-my-files (reverse my-files))
(f (pop r-my-files)))
(add-to-list 'r-my-files f t)
(setq my-files (reverse r-my-files))
(find-file f)))
(global-set-key (kbd "s-<right>") 'my-next-file)
(global-set-key (kbd "s-<left>") 'my-previous-file)
the my-files var is not saved, so the order will not persist when you
close emacs.

In the event those org files are part of your org agenda, there is an
inbuilt command to do that: org-cycle-agenda-files
C-' (org-cycle-agenda-files)
C-, Cycle through agenda file list, visiting one file after the other.
