these are my quasi DEC ed/edt routines:
;;---
(global-set-key "\C-e" 'save-buffers-kill-emacs)
(global-set-key "\C-q" 'kill-emacs)
(global-set-key "\C-s" 'save-buffer)
(global-set-key "\C-w" 'write-file)
;;---
backed by non autosaving,non-autobacking routines:
(setq auto-save-default 'nil)
(setq make-backup-files 'nil)
(setq default-major-mode 'text-mode)

;;---
problem is that when i enter C-s (to save) i have no guarantee that the file
is saved; the modeline ( or below it actually) mentions that file is saved;
however when i do a more filename from another window i find that file doesnot
exist; some times i also get a wierd "Disk file changed.....<or something like
that> and same way the file gets erased;
is it me or the emacs? is this a bug for which reason a auto-backup was made?
any ideas...what is going on here?
