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. =A0Then clear the state, work on a new problem, sav= e the new state at that time. =A0Then be able to go back and restore the fi= rst 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 b= ut I can't find it because the name gets too many hits.

Thank you,
