But, if you want to create a buffer ^x^f lets=20 you either read an existing file or create a buffer with a file name.=20 And at that point, a save file is created in the current directory. So,=20 if your system crashes because of a hardware problem (because we all=20 know that neither Linux nor Emacs ever crashes) you will have at least a = partial file. Additionally, if you start vi (eg. vim) and start editing, = a .swp file is created, since there is no file name associated. Normally = a <filename>.swp is created. --=20 Jerry Feldman <gaf-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
