I'm trying to do the following: (defun tidy () "don't make backup files, and only autosave in current visited file" (interactive) (setq make-backup-files 'nil) (setq auto-save-visited-file-name 't)) The auto-save-visited-file-name seems to work file. When I try to save the buffer using C-x C-s, I get the message "file has changed on disk, do you still want to save?". I expect this, since auto-save has written in the file, so I type yes. But, the file isn't actually saved! Please send me mail regarding this, and I'll summarize if there's interest. If there's a better way, please suggest it. -Steve I do not speak officially for Locus or IBM, just me. stevea@locus.com uunet!lcc!stevea lcc!stevea@seas.ucla.edu
