- O.K. then, since you seem to kow what you're talking about here's some
- question for you about the one TRUE editor:
-
- 1) How do I dump it?
- 2) How do I get it to not EVER do backups?
- 3) How do I get it to NEVER do autosave?

- Please help me as I really like what emacs can do but I get severely
- annoyed at any program that makes files without telling me about it!

-
- Another question:
- When I exit emacs it tries to write something to my SYS: what? and why?
-
- Thanks for any help.
