In GNU Emacs 18.52.4 of Wed Nov 30 1988 on satyr (usg-unix-v) Starting emacs in my home directory, I do C-x C-f ho (to find a new file ho). I type some characters and save the file. I type some more characters and save the file. Dired shows that both ho and ho~ exist. Great so far. M-x cd /tmp (change directory to /tmp) Now, I do C-x C-f ho. I type some characters. I save the buffer. I type some more charaters. Dired shows only the file ho (there is no ho~). Relevant lines from my .emacs: (setq auto-save-default t) ; auto-save (setq backup-before-writing t) ; backup before writing Any ideas, GNUrus??? ---Kayvan
