thank you, now I prefer the way to keep all the backup and autosave files in a seperate directory, such as ~/.emacs.d/autosave and ~/.emacs.d/backup, how could i setup that? I'm not familiar with emacs, currently in my machine, there is only the ~/.emacs.d/ directory which seems relative to emacs setup. Could you help give a document that details the setup steps for those purpose? thanks >> > > Oops!
