(Please respond by mail or reply to comp.editors. I don't read gnu.emacs or comp.emacs.) This is probably an easy RTFM question, but I'm starting to realize that I'm not going through the Emacs-Lisp manual until Christmas, and I'm sick'n'tired of this behaviour NOW. Every once in a while when I'm using this editor it inter- rupts me to tell me "Auto-saving...done", "Garbage-collection... done". I don't want that. Auto-saving seems like a good idea so I like to have it on, but I want it to happen QUIETLY. On top of all: the most common message is the fantastic "Buffer xxxx has shrunk a lot. Not autosaving.", since I mainly use Unix to read and write news and mail which means that I start with a big file from which I cut everything except that I comment. It's really a pain. Particulary on a 75/1200 line. And I would like it to auto-save even if the buffer "has shrunk a lot". Tell me, how do I do. The editor just can't be that !"#$%&/(/) stupid that it is not impossible. I would also like to Emacs stop echoing prefix keys. It's a good idea but it becomes absurd when your using keypad keys as prefix keys as I do. I have my very personal profile, so any Lisp is OK. I'm not interested in source code changes. I'm not the only one on the machine using GNU-Emacs. We're using 18.48 on a SUN-4. -- Erland Sommarskog - ENEA Data, Stockholm - sommar@enea.se "Hey poor, you don't have to be Jesus!" - Front 242
