Opening Sets of Files

Opening Sets of Files

[Bill]

Using Emacs 22.0.5:

#1. How would one go about having emacs open a set of files at
startup, from one dir, but not all the files in that dir?

#2. How would one go about doing this dynamically? In other words
    with the set of files which were last being edited?

Concerning #2 I can think of two possibilities: recentf (which is now
part of emacs 22), and session-el
(http://emacs-session.sourceforge.net).  I don't know whether these
actually do what you want, but they may.

That depends on your shell:

emacs foo*.el *.java
emacs `cat list_of_interesting_files`

See also the Filesets node of the Emacs manual.

See the "Saving Emacs Sessions" node of the Emacs manual.
