I killed .emacs buffer without saving (losing changes) and then exited Emacs. On restarting everything looks and works normally exept that *scratch* is empty (three commented lines are missing) and it is in Fundamental mode instead of Lisp Interaction. Can I get the old *scratch* buffer back? How? Ed
