Thanks for the reply.
OK: POV -> My pov is the window arrangement.
Let's say that my screen is split into 4 windows of equal size.
I can save that arrangement in register 'a' by invoking
c-x r w a.
As I work, I might find myself with another arrangement and want
to go back to my original.
I invoke c-x r j a and bingo! There I have it.
Can I save the arrangement that I saved in the register 'a
in my desktop file? My current setup doesn't do that.
register-alist is not saved to the desktop file with the same
items that I view from *Help* when I invoke c-h v
register-alist.
I appreciate the code you provided. But my main concern is to
preserve a window layout so that when I close emacs and restart
or load another desktop and reload the first I desktop can see
the same layout.
I hope that this narrative is more clear.
