See help on command-completion-custom, bufnr(),
bufnr("$"), bufname(), <args>, <f-args> and <q-args>.
Doubt if you would need to use getLineCmd().

Subject: RE: autocomplete on the command line from words in buffers
Does Vim keep a Dict or list of names from all the open buffers that I can
use?
It sounds like there might be a way using command-completion as mentioned
below and also using the getLineCmd() function?
Thanks.

IMHO this will become difficult.
In Insert mode, Ctrl-N/Ctrl-P scans through the buffers for words, but
I think there is no way to make Vim provide a similar list of completions in
the
command-line.
You have to (kind of) scan the buffers yourself ...
Please correct me if I'm wrong
