Hi all,
I'm a Python hobbyist and am getting into LaTeX, so I have decided to
give emacs a try. I'm no hacker by far.
I am running GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (binaries obtained from Nqmacs
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/nqmacs/>) on WinXP SP2. I'm using the
O'Reilly "Learning GNU Emacs, 3rd Edition" to learn with.
A quick question before my main one:
I'm having some difficulty with emacs' Python support. Would it be
better to post here or to comp.lang.python (which I also read)?
The main query:
I am having a problem quiting emacs. If I have open modified buffers,
and wish to quit without saving I can quit with C-x C-c and answering
the minibuffer prompts accordingly. However, if I try Menu->File->Exit
Emacs or clicking the close button on the right of the title bar, I
run into problems.
I get a pop-up dialog asking me if I want to save (one of) the
modified buffers. If I click on no, I bounce right back to the buffer
I was viewing, and I do not exit emacs. It seems to me that instead I
ought get the dialog for the next unsaved and modified buffer, and
exit emacs when I've said no to all such dialog prompts.
Am I misunderstanding the intended behaviour? Or, is there something I
need to add to my .emacs file to enable what I think ought happen? Any
advice would be appreciated.
I did search this list archive for both "quit" and "quiting", but
nothing of relevance came up. Attempts to google did not help --
windows being an emacs term as well as the name of my OS seemed to get
in the way :-)
Thanks and best,
Brian vdB
