'cuse the previous posting; haven't yet figured out the emacs thingy on my mc. the problem was that the autosaver capability of the emacs on my mc. saves the filename to filename~ with the result deleting the filename~ in that directory which contains different info.; is it possible to o remove the autosaver capability o autosave to the filename itself o autosave to some-other-filename thanks -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bharat P.

I have two alternatives: o Don't use the the auto-save filename for other purposes (i.e., adjust your file naming scheme and/or other software), OR o Read up on make-auto-save-file-name and auto-save-file-name-p. You can use ^H-d to get a short definition of these, and then dig into the full Emacs info for more details. Personally I favor the first alternative since it is less likely to confuse anybody, but it's up to you .... -- J. Eliot B.
