+ Emacs saves all the visited files from time to time (based on
+counting your keystrokes) without being asked, in separate files so as
+not to alter the files you actually use. This is called
+@dfn{auto-saving}. It prevents you from losing more than a limited
+amount of work if the system crashes.
When Emacs determines that it is time for auto-saving, it considers
each buffer, and each is auto-saved if auto-saving is enabled for it
