I wonder if the issue here has to do with Unix-style file permissions. If so, the fix might be a command like
for n in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do; chmod u+rw "AUTOSAV$n.TMP"; done
Unfortunately, I can't elaborate as my internet access is severely limited for the time being -- sorry.

Jon,
I have no experience of Macs, so I am of little assistance if any.
Have you tried
to delete autosav1.tmp (it may be locked by the system
making rewrites
impossible)?
Another idea: if autosave does not work for you, could you or someone
else
devise a cron job within the Mac OS to handle this? E.g. see

I appreciate you for responding, Kari, but nothing works. Autosav1.tmp
is
still an ancient file. Something I didn't store yesterday
disappeared, though luckily I had
uploaded it elsewhere.
Settings.dfl, even after multiple restarts, includes:
df BK=1
DF AOP=C:\XY4\XY (which is where settings.dfl and all newly written
files are located, according to XY command line)
DF AOT=3,10
I've lost a couple of
things so this is as worrying as it is baffling. I
think it's an interaction between XY4 and
DosBox-X but I don't know
what's going on.
