It's also often very annoying to be forced to pick a filename upfront... Granted that one can "rename" the file by using save-as before ever using save, but it's step one has to remember to do (and one I often forget). I think the changes you note would actually be very good to have around regardless of the menu issue actually -- I often want to create a file which may or may not be temporary, which I want to be auto-saved, but which I don't know the name of yet. My current solution is to visit "/tmp/,blah" or whatever, and then use C-x C-w to save it when I decide upon a name, but it'd be cool if I could set things up so that there was some way of identifying which non-file-associated buffers should be auto-saved. -Miles --=20 Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
