Buffer foo has shrunk a lot, not auto-saving it. If there is an I/O error in auto-saving, it will beep and tell you: Couldn't write auto-save file! (or something like that), so you're not missing anything exciting. -- Roland McGrath Free Software Foundation, Inc. roland@wheaties.ai.mit.edu, mit-eddie!wheaties.ai.mit.edu!roland
