I am in the process of switching over from Gosling Emacs to Gnu Emacs,
and I have a few questions about how to do things in Gnu.  I couldn't find
the answers to these in the manual.  I am running version 18.51 under
HP-UX 6.0 on an HP 9000/ 350.  I am using it with X10.

1) How do I save the state of the buffers that I am editing so that the
next time that I run Gnu Emacs, it comes up visting the files that I
was working with, with the cursor positioned where it was when I exited
the editor?  Gosling emacs does this by writing a file named
.emacs_<user-id> on the connected directory.  I can't figure out how to
do this in Gnu Emacs.  It would be even nicer if I could have Gnu Emacs
come up with the same window layout that I had when I exited.

2) The 'next' and 'prev' keys on my 350 keyboard seem to be turned off
when in Gnu emacs.  They apparently don't transmit anything at all.

3) The border of the X-window built by emacs is always highlighted, whether
the mouse cursor is inside of it or not.

Any help on these matters would be greatly appreciated.
