Hello,

I'm putting together a default .emacs file for some new users.  I'm trying
to figure out if emacs will delete auto-save files if I exit emacs without
saving all my buffers.  In other words, the only time I want auto-save files
left after an emacs session is if the system crashes, or for some reason I am
disconnected from the system (modem failure, power outage, etc.)  Is this
possible?

I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer.
