It depends. Traditionnaly (i.e. emacs), the ~ files
are stored in the same directory. As far as the
feature you propose is concerned, I'm pretty sure
it doesn't exist yet in TeXmacs, so feel free to
fill a wish. As for me, I hate these ~ files, so
I use another feature that disables their creation
in the first place, namely Edit/Preferences/Autosave/Disable.
