  Thanks for the reply.
  OK: POV -> My pov is the window arrangement.  
    Let's say that my screen is split into 4 windows of equal size. 
	I can save that arrangement in register 'a' by invoking
	c-x r w a.
	As I work, I might find myself with another arrangement and want
	to go back to my original.
	I invoke c-x r j a and bingo! There I have it.

    Can I save the arrangement that I saved in the register 'a
	in my desktop file? My current setup doesn't do that.
	register-alist is not saved to the desktop file with the same
	items that I view from *Help* when I invoke c-h v
	register-alist.

	I appreciate the code you provided. But my main concern is to
	preserve a window layout so that when I close emacs and restart
	or load another desktop and reload the first I desktop can see
	the same layout.

    I hope that this narrative is more clear.
	regards
