That's exactly what `desktop-save-mode' is made for. ,----[ C-h f desktop-save-mode RET ] | desktop-save-mode is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `desktop.el'. | | (desktop-save-mode &optional arg) | | Toggle desktop saving mode. | With numeric arg, turn desktop saving on if arg is positive, off | otherwise. If desktop saving is turned on, the state of Emacs is | saved from one session to another. See variable `desktop-save' | and function `desktop-read' for details. `---- And also see the info docs: ,----[ (info "(emacs)Saving Emacs Sessions") ] | Use the desktop library to save the state of Emacs from one session to | another. Once you save the Emacs "desktop"--the buffers, their file | names, major modes, buffer positions, and so on--then subsequent Emacs | sessions reload the saved desktop. `---- Bye, Tassilo
