Hi David, M-x recover-session is the proper interface to these autosave files. This will bring up a dired buffer in which you can mark, visit, delete the session files. It's probably a feature they can't inadvertently be deleted with the common idiomatic sequence of ~ runs the command dired-flag-backup-files x runs the command dired-expunge-deletions -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/
