[comp.emacs] Problems saving a file

Hi!  I need help !!!

	My emacs is acting really weird today.  I edited a file 
(previously extracted from a tar file and then transfered to my home
directory), saved it, suspended emacs,
and guess what,  when I did a list of the home directory, the file WAS
NOT THERE.  Not even the original copy.  I tried to save it again but
of course I got the message that the file was already saved (where ??)
It seems that only the `write to' command will save the file.  I tried
editing with vi and it works ok so I suspect emacs to be the problem
and not the disk.  Also it seems that only this file has this strange
behavior of vanishing without any trace.  I edited other files in my
home directory (this one too) and everything is fine.
	Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

Please reply by mail as I'm not a frequent reader of this newsgroup.
Thanks in advance.
