Agreed, write-file gives me the opportunity for choosing another name
(with the corresponding buffer name). But then I'd have to kill the badly
named file in a second step (e.g. in a dired buffer) since the old,
now redundant file remains on the file system.

Thank you for your reply. I'm new to newsgroups, may I ask why you've
written to my email address directly and copied your message to
`help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org', isn't it usual posting directly (and solely)
to the newsgroup?
