Do you mean to read the files into separate buffers?  If not, then
what do you mean by "buffer-list"?

  Instead of this, I recommend using the slang "listdir" function to
  read the names of files into an array, e.g.,

   foreach (listdir ("."))
     {
	variable file = ();
	variable ext = path_extname (file);
	if ((ext != ".adb") and (ext != ".ads"))
	  continue;
	
	% WHATEVER
	() = read_file (file);
     }

   You can use 
     
       set_buffer_modified_flag (0);
   
   before calling delbuf.

   Use, e.g.,
     
     foreach (array_sort (listdir (".")))
       {
	  ...
       }

Finally, why not just startup jed as:
   
   jed *.ad[bs]

?
