I'm running emacs and was wondering if there's a variable which indicates 
whether or not a buffer has been modified.  I'd like to use this to run 
a lisp function upon exiting emacs only if the file's been modified.

Thanks,
Mike Bongiovi

Hi Mike!

Try the function buffer-modified-p.

Greetings,

Hans

Answered my own question.  In case anyone's interested, the function 
buffer-modified-p returns a t if the buffer's been changed since it was last 
read in.
