To make this work properly I need to know where emacs puts its lockfile for an edited file/folder that already exists. With emacs v19.30.1 I can easily, with an strace, track where the lockfile was created. With emacs v20.7.2 I can't locate any lockfile with an strace. Can anyone shed some light on this problem given that I want to use emacs v20.7.2? PS please reply directly to me and not just the list as I am not on this list. -- Regards, Simone Magri email: smagri@atnf.csiro.au http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~smagri
