I am currently using a machine that sometimes crashes and destroys
my carefully built state in GNU emacs (all the files and buffer
that I am editing). I then have to revisit all the files that
I had been editing. This gets annoying if you are editing a large
source tree.

Is there an elisp function that could save the "state" of Emacs
(say, a list of filename/buffer tuples) so that I can restore Emacs
to its former state with just one function call when I restart it ?

Thanks in advance.

     regards,
