It is really aggravating. With me it was usually typing C-x C-u (upcase-region) when I meant to type C-x u (undo). I've given up in desperation and did a global-unset-key on C-x C-u in my .emacs file. Another possibility, instead of querying, is for emacs to force an auto save or create a backup before doing something that it won't be able to undo. Then at least you can kill the buffer (or emacs) and do an M-x recover-file. -- -------------------------------------- rusty c. wright rusty@violet.berkeley.edu ucbvax!violet!rusty
