Re: Quitting Emacs for buffer unassociated with file

    emacs -Q
    C-x f toto

Do you mean C-x C-f?

    You get this menu (numbered here):

    Save file toto?
    1 Yes
    2 No
    3 View This File
    4 View Changes In File
    5 Save This Buffer But No More
    6 No For All

    3 and 4 make no sense in this context - they should be dimmed.

#3 makes sense, but you actually view the buffer.
#4 makes sense, though it would be sort of trivial,
since the whole contents would appear as an insertion.

Maybe I should just change "file" to "buffer".

    What does "No For All" mean? Unclear. Reword to make clear that it
    means do not save this buffer and don't ask about saving any others.

It is hard to do this.
