Actually I thought it was quite simple, load up, get the "autosaved file is newer than ..." prompt, "M-x recover file", "yes", hey, no mod flag. however it's a little more complicated than that., I tried again, after mashing my .emacs and .emacs.el, and it *does* set the mod flag, so something else is interfering with it. I'll do some serious research here and if it's a bundled elisp then I'll let you know, until then, I'll crawl back under my rock. all the best, Nick Gridley
