Hi Jean:

Yes, this is on our todo list and something we look forward to adding as soon as time allows.  -- Bob

I can see on GNU Emacs Help mailing list somebody who wish to save
registers because of Window setup. I was thinking Hyperbole can save
window configuration.

That would be good feature.

I was expecting AddName to work over sessions, but it does not.

On my side I am using these simple functions to save any data to file,
like a hash, I can save it to file and read from file. Maybe this
concept could help that window configuration be saved in Hyperbole as
well.

(defun data-to-file (data file)
  "PRIN1 Emacs Lisp DATA to FILE"
  (string-to-file-force (prin1-to-string data) file))

(defun data-from-file (file)
  "Reads and returns Emacs Lisp data from FILE"
  (car
   (read-from-string
    (file-to-string file))))

(defun string-to-file-force (string file)
  "Prints string into file, matters not if file exists. Returns FILE as file name."
  (with-temp-file file
    (insert string))
  file)
