Is it possible to save window splits?

Is it possible to save window splits?

[Daniel R. Anderson]

Hi,

	A lot of times when I'm coding, I'll find I need to open several window
splits.  Then, I'll C-x 1 to get back to the code I'm working on, and
find I need to get back to the old window splits -- but have to do them
manually.  Is it possible to save window splits -- how many you have,
what kind, and where in the file each one points to?  

Thanks,

Dan Anderson

`C-x r w' to save a window configuration, `C-x r j' to load a
previously saved configuration. Configurations are stored in
registers labeled with characters.

I usually run on a platform which supports multiple frames.  So I just
open another frame, do what I want with the single window, and then
close the frame.

frame-configuration-to-register	C-x r f
  Command: Store the window configuration of all frames in register REGISTER.
window-configuration-to-register C-x r w
  Command: Store the window configuration of the selected frame in register REGISTER.

To restore, use
jump-to-register	      C-x r j
  Command: Move point to location stored in a register.
