Also, according to my emacs e==>Exit Emacs (C-x C-c) so Alt-` f e is exactly the same as Ctrl-x Ctrl-c anyway! If the OP really want to quit emacs without being prompted to save any buffes then run the 'kill-emacs' command which isn't bound to a key by default. You would do this with Alt-X kill-emacs <RETURN> But the fact that it isn't bound to a key by default means that it isn't recommended (and I've never used it in 10 years of using emacs!) - just use Ctrl-X Ctrl-C as Richard Stallman intended ;-) -- Nick Craig-Wood <n...@craig-wood.com> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
