-The argument to the

-switch must be interpreted as a single
-token by the shell that invokes
-.BR whatnow .
-Therefore, one must
-usually place the argument to this switch inside double\-quotes.
-.PP
-If the initial edit fails,
-.B whatnow
-deletes your draft (by renaming
-it with a leading comma); failure of a later edit preserves the draft.
