Working with files
Of course, all these GNU Emacs instructions are useless unless you can
save your work and get it back later. To save the file displayed in the
current window, type C-x C-s. The
buffer will be saved with
the same name it had when you first used it. If there is no name (as
for a new file), you'll be prompted for the file name. To visit (i.e.,
read) a file, use C-x C-f and enter the file name when prompted. You
can visit a file in another window (splitting the screen if necessary)
with C-x 4 C-f. Input completion
works on file names as it did on function names.
