Manuals? We don't need no stinkin manuals.
You only need to know one command to customize Emacs:
M-x customize
In this case, you select/click the "Files"

Yeah, I think I was answering a different question. The OP wanted to put
them all in one directory, and along the way someone mentioned how to
turn them off and someone else said that it didn't work for them, or
something. So, I was just posting what works for me.

Yeah, well, I'm using Mozilla now. I s'pose I could always bust out the
source code and change it to do a reply to list feature.
Or I could switch back to KMail which has (had?) this feature.
One thing that works in Mozilla, and I have to remember to do this, is
to hit the Reply to all button a

I use CVS over RCS because it not only does the job that RCS does, but
also allows me to keep my laptop in sync with my desktop by doing a 'cvs
update'. Emacs also understands CVS commands which are pretty much the
same as RCS with a few extras thrown in.

CVS is built upon RCS. RCS is essentially good for very small groups
numbering between 1 and 1.5 where there is *really* good
communication.

The CVS FAQ-O-MATIC says:
"CVS, which requires RCS, extends RCS to control concurrent editing of
sources by several users working on releases built from a hierarchical
set of directories. "RCS is [analogous to using] assembly languag

I can only give you a couple of clues. You would set some variables up in
your ~/.emacs file. Some of the relevant variables are:
make-backup-files : this actually tells emacs how to make backups
backup-dir should give you the backup directory, but I am not 100% sure.
