I've figured out how to use the Text Server mode for editing files
generated by other programs.  Still the emacs/lisp novice, I'm
interested in modifying the behavior and need some advice:

After editing the file, it expects me to save it before returning
to the original program, however this creates backup files for the
temporary file that was created by emacsclient.  Is there a way to
specify a local variable or other switch that will not create these
backup files or will I have to modify server.el/server.c?
