I seem to get more than 6. YMMV, I think, so it can't be relied
upon.

The following is what he's talking about, I think:
(defun get-number-of-file-buffers ()
(interactive)
(let (num)
(setq num 0)
(dolist (buf (buffer-list))
(when (buffer-file-name buf)
(setq num (+ num 1))
))
num
)
)
Another possibility would be to have an alias to one or other
emacs that invokes emacs in the way you want (with or without the
"are you sure?" stuff): then just use one name for emacs when you
don't want to be asked, and another for when you do.
