Why not just: (with-current-buffer "*Messages*" (setq buffer-offer-save t)) so you are queried when you exit emacs whether to save the buffer or not. Or: (with-current-buffer "*Messages*" (set-visited-file-name "~/emacs_messages")) so the buffer is auto-saved during the session, and then you are queried when you exit. -- Kevin Rodgers
