Subject: how to not overwrite read-only files?
Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2006 14:54:29 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5425296.post@talk.nabble.com> (raw)


For some reason, my emacs configuration just overwrites files when I save,
even when it is marked -r--r--r-- (readonly).  Is there a setting for emacs
to confirm whether to overwrite the file first?  Thanks.
