	I have a DA called SaveIt which does this (sends command-S every N 
minutes).  I just looked on both the sumex and umich archives, and it isn't 
at either one.  I don't remember where I got this - I *think* it's either 
PD or shareware, but I'm not sure - I got it on a disk with a bunch of 
other shareware stuff, but without any documentation for SaveIt itself.  If 
someone can clear me up on this, I'll either delete it from my disk, or 
post it to both the above archives.
