+<H2>NOTES</H2>
+
+Nano will try to dump the buffer into an emergency file in some cases.
+Mainly, this will happen if Nano recieves a SIGHUP or runs out of
+memory, when it will write the buffer into a file named "nano.save" if the
+buffer didn't have a name already, or will add a ".save" suffix to the
+current finename. Nano will <B>not</B> write this file if a previous one
+exists in the current directory.
