Forcing epoch to save all buffers

Is there a way to force Epoch, outside Epoch itself, to save all modified
buffers that are currently being edited?  The reason I ask is that (like a
good convert) I am currently running an Epoch on the machine in my office.
Since I don't generally log out, it's running as I type this (in Emacs, dialed
in from home).

However, I'd like to edit a file that I know Epoch has open.  I realize that
if I change such a file, Epoch will warn me that the file on disk has changed
when I next go into the office, but in the meanwhile, I'm not certain that
I saved out the changes I was making before I left.

Perhaps the best solution is for me to save everything before I go home;
however, it would be nice to have some way to tell it to save everything when
I'm logged in from here.

Any ideas?  Is this something simple that I never learned, or is it too
complicated to be worth implementing?
