When I save a .txt file without a final newline, I am asked whether to add a newline. When I enter C-h v require-final-newline, I am informed this variable is set to query. However, when I save a .cpp or.h file without a terminating new line, the newline is silently added. In fact when I enter C-h v require-final-newline, I am informed its value is set to t. Why is this variable not being set consistently across file types? -charles
