Beware!  Emacs 3.9 is dangerous.  If you don't name a file it can't
save it until a name is given.  Worse yet, in mess-dos if a disk is write 
protected, the program can't write to it and bombs with Abort, Retry, Just 
Give it up.   These bugs need to be fixed.  Suggestion:  if file does
not have a name, ASK for one.  Second, check for write protect in mess-
dos and for permission in UNIX and allow alternate save paths.
