Thanks to both of you ... however, ~/.emacs-places or saveplace is not what I
am looking for. This saves a place in between sessions. My old emacs has this
feature that when I open a file, it goes to a place from the saveplace and then
after it, if I move the cursor and type C-u SPC, it will remember the old place
in that same session and possibly other locations it pushed into some kind of
stack and go back in the reverse order based on C-u SPC.
The new latest emacs does not do that, unless before the first move of the
cursor, I use C-@ to memorize it.
Suppose I forget the first C-@, then I have lost the original place unless I
open the same file in a 2nd emacs before closing the first one in which case it
gets it from saveplace.
