After editing a file on a drive different from where emacs resides a keep getting the message: "Cannot write backup file: Backing up in %backup%~" Looking in the emacs directory I see a file named %backup%~. I also have a file with "test.as~" in the proper directory (original file is "test.asm" so it appears that the backups are being generated anyway. Any ideas on this? Dan
