You need to persuade Xemacs not to create backup files.  In "standard"
mode, when you go to save the file, it does something like:

  - rename the original, giving it a backup suffix

  - Writes the new file, giving it the original name

  - (maybe) delete the renamed original

That second step is where the DTMDocument is being created.

If you can't find a solution to that problem, then you could add an
ExternalMethod named 'PUT_factory', and take over control of the choice
of object type being created yourself.  See the following for hints:
