Hi Leo,

Documentation is sparse (!) - could you explain what it does that session
does not do?

Also when I try it from here:

http://www.koders.com/lisp/fidA05D3793F1722735B6D00FF7628FE22B4FF490B1.aspx?s=sort

I get

Version: This is GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d
 scroll bars) of 2008-03-02 on raven, modified by Debian

Thanks for any pointers and/or advice.
