I think this is even more confusing, really -- it sounds like buffers are temporary things that may disappear without you knowing ("e.g."). If anything needs to be said here, it's that buffers aren't necessarily tied to files, and if such a buffer is killed, the contents of the buffer will not be saved anywhere. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
