When editing a file, I'll save it (c-x c-s) often. When I do this in a
buffer with a remote file, it appears to save just fine.

When I then try to edit further, I get ".emacs changed on disk; really
edit the buffer? (y, n, r or C-h)" I hit "y" and proceed. After the
first keystroke, the rodent pointer changes to a watch. As soon as I
hit the next character, it reverts to the normal insert text pointer.

When I then try to save, I get ".emacs has changed since visited or
saved. Save anyway? (yes or no)" I give it a yes, and it saves as
normal. This error message does not show up in the *Messages* buffer.

I checked to see running rdate to synch the clocks would help; it did
not.

Other than that, it is a neat package & I thank you all very much.
