I edited an existing shell script [mode 744] and used C-x C-w to write
it into a new file. I notice that that files modes were just my plain
umask modes and I had to take the time to make it executable.
And what if I had been editing a 600 file, would a C-x C-w version
become 644 spilling my beans?
Info says: `C-x C-w' (`write-file'). It is precisely
equivalent to `set-visited-file-name' followed by `C-x C-s'. `C-x C-s'
used on a buffer that is not visiting a file has the same effect as
`C-x C-w'; that is, it reads a file name, marks the buffer as visiting
that file, and saves it there.
So there's more to consider. Anyway C-h k C-x C-w should give a clear
statement about what happens to permissions, and so should Info.
