The #file# are Emacs autosave files. They appear when you are editing a file and haven't saved yet. They're deleted when you save or kill the buffer. (If you just kill Emacs, they're left so you can recover the files.) The .#files are lock files, indicating that you're editing a file. If you've stopped editing it, and the lock file is still there, it's safe to delete. -- Alan Shutko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - In a variety of flavors! Nobody ever ruined their eyesight by looking at the bright side of something.
