Yes, and looking at that todo list item shows that it has a typo, currently (as of 2009-Jul-02) at line 3197 col 18, where it has the letter w (in 'aw') but it should be an s (to make it 'as') -- 'aw' already exists as the short form of 'autowrite' which is a different option. Also, there are help tags there for *'noas'* and *'noautosave'* as for a Boolean option, but on the next line it is mentioned as a Number option. Maybe those Boolean tags are there to cover the "alternative" possibility mentioned at the end of the "future help item". Best regards, Tony. -- You can create your own opportunities this week.
