It bugs me to have to answer 'yes' (or even 'y') in these cases. Is there a command to tell Emacs, "re-read the file from disk and don't ask me about it"? But this is a relatively trivial issue. A far more important question is the following meta-question: how could I have figured out the answer to the previous question on my own? I tried apropos with various query strings, such as "re-find", "re-open", "re-visit", and variants thereof, but they yielded nothing. Is there a better approach to finding the command for an Emacs functionality? Thanks! bill
