Hi Sean, Sorry for the delay--I've been utterly swamped with work, and have a failing power supply.

Maybe it's using the networking definition of "sessions" as a list of connections, and only manages these? Conversely, by glancing at the README I noticed that sesman has "contexts...for example current-buffer, default-directory, and project-current". This, and that project title is "Generic Session Manager for Emacs" suggests that sesman can at least save/restore these. Maybe it's session support is limited to a single buffer? If so, the description could say something to the affect that other session management packages such as the built-in desktop.el are more appropriate for saving a collection of buffers as a session. I have to defer to you on this one, because you're more familiar with the package, and I don't anticipate having the time to dig into the details. Maybe forward this question upstream? Regards, Nicholas
