No, I have never used emacs, and the directory name
is 'autosave' with no dot prefix.

Done. I'll watch to see if it reappears ;))

I agree. That was my point, also. I dislike clutter and also bloat.
Curiously, ls -A | wc on my system yields 70 and ls -a | wc yields 72.
I wonder why I get different results from ls -A and ls -a ?
Is there an efficient syntax to string commands so I could do a 'diff'
on these two listings (without listing each to a file to compare files)
to see what the two additional files are?
