I haven't compiled the new micro emacs since I have a MSC compiler, which is
not fully supported. I have been having a very annoying problem with the
older version, and am wondering if it has been fixed, or if someone has a
work around. I am used to saving my files regularly with ^X^S, and then
sometimes quiting with ^X^C. Unfortunately, uemacs will quit before
completing the writing of the file, leaving me with only a small piece of
the file. This is beyond annoying. Yes, I can wait before quiting, but the
habit runs deep and the other half-dozen emaces I use regularly don't share
this feature. They all consider a file save to be an atomic operation that
is only interruped by ^G.

Has the problem been fixed, or can you suggest another command/binding?
