Re: Stopping Emacs from leaving ~ files

   This is hopefully a simple question, but I've been unable to discover how to
   do it.

Did you read the Emacs manual?

   How does one configure emacs so it will stop leaving ~ files around?

>From (emacs)Backup:

   For most files, the variable `make-backup-files' determines whether
to make backup files.  On most operating systems, its default value is
`t', so that Emacs does write backup files.
