;;; Commentary:

;; Save the Desktop, i.e.,
;;	- some global variables
;; 	- the list of buffers with associated files.  For each buffer also
;;		- the major mode
;;		- the default directory
;;		- the point
;;		- the mark & mark-active
;;		- buffer-read-only
;;		- truncate-lines
;;		- case-fold-search
;;		- case-replace
;;		- fill-column

;; To use this, first put these three lines in the bottom of your .emacs
;; file (the later the better):
;;
;;	(load "desktop")
;;	(desktop-load-default)
;;	(desktop-read)
;;

;; Start Emacs in the root directory of your "project". The desktop saver
;; is inactive by default.  You activate it by M-x desktop-save RET.  When
;; you exit the next time the above data will be saved.  This ensures that
;; all the files you were editing will be reloaded the next time you start
;; Emacs from the same directory and that points will be set where you
;; left them.
;;
;; PLEASE NOTE: The kill ring can be saved as specified by the variable
;; `desktop-globals-to-save' (by default it isn't).  This may result in saving
;; things you did not mean to keep.  Use M-x desktop-clear RET.
;;
;; Thanks to  hetrick@phys.uva.nl (Jim Hetrick)   for useful ideas.
