Both will create that directory. [...] Strange, how come emacs works differently for me? Emacs creates .#some_open_file# for an open file that I'm editing which it can recover in case of a crash and emacs also creates a backup file, such as some_file~ which is my previous editing session. I found no reference to an .autosave directory in the manual. One nice feature of auto-saving in emacs is that when you make a large edit to the buffer auto-saving is temporarily disabled giving you a chance to undo an accidental delete of a large block of text. Details about auto-saving and backup files in emacs can be found here. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/ Dennisk --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
