The help was less not terribly informative to this emacs newbie.  I do have

   '(savehist-mode t nil (savehist)))

in my .emacs and it seems to be saving the history, but I have no idea 
how to retrieve it!

I did get save desktop working by putting

   (desktop-save-mode 1)

into my .emacs.

But what is "save-session"?  I tried finding that in help, but it tells 
me no match.  (And searching on functions beginning "save" turns up no 
match, either, for "save-session" or "savesession", etc.)
