Is it possible to save the current state of emacs which includes the = buffers in particular and maybe the "register" values (when I do = point-to-register) to a file. Then clear the state, work on a new = problem, save the new state at that time. Then be able to go back and = restore the first state? Utopia would each of these states to be saved in its own individual = file. I've been told of a packaged named "windows" that does this but I can't = find it because the name gets too many hits.
