Hi,
Can someone tell me how I can suppress the creation of .extention~ files. Eg
if I edit newfile.sh it also creates a newfile.sh~.
The ~ file is a backup file.
One way to avoid this file in the current file is to setup a backup
directory
See the Backup customisation group.
See the customisable variable "Backup Directory Alist",
This allows all of these file to be moved to a configurable
subdirectory... giving the advantage of the backup file and
none of the mess.
Otherwise you can disable backups altogether via the Make Backup
setting.
