   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?

Try the gnudoit application in the gnuserv package. (also in contrib)
Use the emacs lisp function save-some-buffers see the documetation on
this function using c-h f you will probably want to use it with 2 non
nil arguments to force saving of all interesting buffers.
