Hi... I have the sad misfortune to have backup files all over my filespace. Now I don't disagree with the concept of backup files (quite the opposite) but I hate having them clutter up my directories and such. Is there a way to tell emacs to put all the backup files in a backup-directory or something. This way, all my backups would still be made but they wouldn't litter my directories. has anyone done this? -- _____________________________________________________________________________ | shawn@litsun.epfl.ch -.- KLEIN BOTTLE FOR SALE ... \####### | Shawn Edwin Koppenhoefer \_/ ... enquire within \###### | Sun System-Manager, EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) \##### | EL-Ecublens, CH 1015 Lausanne SWITZERLAND (021)6934703 telefax=474660 \#### | from Canada dial: 1-41-21-693-4703 ____________________________________|### |___________________________________/
