Is it possible to save the current state of emacs which includes the buffer=
s 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.

Thank you,
pedz
