How can I turn off the aggravating [confirm] plugger I see whenever I
attempt to open a non-existent file.
The old thread started in November:
Subject: C-x C-b and C-x C-f bugging about confirmation

So as to help prevent doing it by mistake when you mistyped.
Set confirm-nonexistent-file-or-buffer to nil to get back the old
behavior (or just hit RET twice, of course).
But setting confirm-nonexistent-file-or-buffer to nil hasn't turned
it off for me... maybe something has changed since then?
(I'm running todays cvs of emacs-23)

I can't reproduce this. Please provide a precise recipe, beginning with
`emacs -Q'.

Sorry, I can't either... apparently I'd gotten distracted and
neglected to run `make install' after
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/src/cvs/test && make
And so my symlink at /usr/local/bin/emacs was still linked to something
earlier ... not sure how much earlier but probably at least several
wks. Sorry for the line noise
