The proposed "go to next unwritten file command", which merely goes down the buffer list looking for files that are modified but not written, will come in handy when: It's 2:42 and the Royal Ball will start in 5 minutes. Last time this happened you just hit C-x s y y y y y without actually looking at what you were saving. Bad move. Now with the new proposed command, you don't have to dig those buffers out of the buffer list, you just run the command, and it's like "next please". And yes, if the current buffer is unwritten when the command is executed, it cycles to the end of the list (bury-buffer) no matter what... until there are one or none left... Ah yes, I forgot to dot that i. Ah yes, I forgot to cross that t. Yes, no more hurriedly written buffers. Each one is brought before your face for final adjustment and approval. I propose 'em, you implement them. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
