I began making my changes to the REAMDE.md's in emacs and hit C-x C-s to save. I would close emacs with C-x C-c and try to cat the README.md's, but no such file was saved. No temporary files remained. For each file, I had to start writing it all over again. I suspect that somehow, multiple "emacs -nw" calls are interfering with each other.
