I fell in love with Emacs on TOPS-20 (Okay, TWENEX), and I'm surprised
that I haven't seen one of its most useful features.  Perhaps there's
some ELisp at one of the archives which does this.  I want Emacs to
auto-save all my buffers if the keyboard is idle for <some amount of>
time.  I believe the interval was user-settable on TWENEX.  Thanks in
advance.$$
