In the *Apropos* buffer I see:
,----
| auto-save-default
| Variable: *Non-nil says by default do auto-saving of every file-visiting buffer.
| Plist: standard-value variable-documentation custom-type custom-requests
`----
So by setting that variable to NIL (which is the only value that is
not non-nil) you disable auto-saving. For setting some symbol to some
value you can use SETQ, or set-variable.
``C-h v auto-save-default RET'' indicates that one can also change its
value with customize which I have never used but seems to be regarded
as more intuitive.
Albert.
