What I am missing is a means to "edit" the saved data, remove items =20 particularly. My session-save-file(s, for different Emacs versions/=20 kinds) have a tendency to grow. A simple mechanism based of time =20 stamps or a maximal number of items does not seem to be right. Some =20 configure or compile invocations are used again after years. Some =20 such invocations were for tests and really are not worth saving them, =20= well, say, longer than a week, or a month. A means of cleaning seems =20 to be necessary. Also the point in a buffer is saved. This is an information that is =20 often useless for me, or worse: the end of the buffer, when I left =20 the file after a compare-windows. I would like to see the point at =20 the beginning next time I open the file. To be ready for a new =20 comparison. I setting might enable new session.el to convert point-=20 max to point-min. -- Greetings Pete "We need a president who's fluent in at least one language." =96 Buck Henry
