questions: auto-save and ^C

[Witold Paluszynski <Witold@WASHINGTON.ARPA>]

Somehow, auto-save doesn't see that I set the variable
"auto-save-max" to 63 and keeps only 2 copies of backups.
This has changed after Sam created new Emacs and worked
right for a while.  Now it is back to normal, i.e. doesn't
work.

What is ^C?  It doesn't run any function, it is impossible
to insert it with ^Q, or to get any help on any command
having ^C in it.  Does it run any command at all.
I know it runs some code.

Thanks,
Witold
