As an example of the crap effects, $ emacs file #and in that file type 3 short lines, then back in the shell: C-c Where did your three lines go? not even a #file# backup! Why can't you at least auto-save when you get such a signal? Isn't that a wonderful time for an auto-save? Sure, $ emacs&disown is what we are supposed to do perhaps, but still, where's that safety net? I didn't do kill -9 you know. The problem occurs mostly when the user gets his background jobs confused, but that's besides the point. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
