+* AUTO REVERT MODE
+By default, Emacs does not automatically show the changes in a file that has been edited in a different program.  So if you have =file1= open in Emacs, and then also edit =file1= via the command line or another text editor, the Emacs buffer does not reflect those changes.  The following line corrects this problem.

 * BACKUP 
 By default, Emacs creates automatic backups of files in their original directories, such "file.el" and the backup "file.el~".  This leads to a lot of clutter, so let's tell Emacs to put all backups that it creates in the =TRASH= directory.
