Autosave on Mac

["Jon P" <dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ("xywrite4")]

Apologies but I am still fighting this. Nothing gets Autosaved. The ancient autosav1.tmp, long unchanged,  is still in the directory. 

Writing in XY, the command line says C:'XY4\XY\filename

In SETTINGS.DFL  I have tried:

DF AOP=C:\XY4\XY

DF AOP=A:

DF AOP=B: 

AOT is set at default:  DF=3,10

I currently save everything manually when I think of it but...does anyone have ideas on Autosave?

Thanks as always.

Jon,

As noted previously, Autosave is governed by settings.dfl directives as

follows (which you can also put in startup.int):

; AOP is autosave path, directory must exist before applying setting

df AOP=C:\XY437\AUTOSAVE\

; AOT is autosave timer, AOT=minimum_time[,maximum_time] (,max_time

defaults to min_time+5 minutes), 0,0 = no autosave

df AOT=10

If AOP points to a new directory, autosave does not create it. So, try

pointing AOP to an existing directory.

Best regards,
