Aha! Thanks. Not knowing any LISP, I assume the last would involve a
line such as:

     (global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-c") 'smart-close)

which I suppose should precede the above lines. I'll give it a try, but
I'm nervous without a bit of reassurance.

Understood. For some reason I inherit a fear of leaving an FTP
connection open unused. What you are saying is, don't worry about it. I
won't. Again, thank you very much.
