why does xemacs leave files like "filename~" laying around?
These are backup files of the files you edited.
and is there any way to stop that from happening?
put
(setq make-backup-files nil)
in your .emacs.
You can find more details about backup-files by
M-x info [return]
m xemacs [return]
g backup [return]
