Resume on Startup

["Carl L. Distefano" 70154.3452@xxxxxxxx]

To Jack Shafer:

I don't know about the out-of-the-box Resume feature, but if you
load SMARTSET.U2, restoring a session on startup is easy: Just
add the following line to STARTUP.INT (after the line that loads
SMARTSET.U2):

JM 2.savesessQ2 ;*;

This assumes, of course, that you saved the previous day's
session upon quitting. The most foolproof way I know of doing
this is to have a dedicated quit routine assigned to a key -- and
to get in the habit of using that instead of the QUIT command. I
have a routine called XQUIT which saves, in addition to the
editing session, the command stack, my status-line "post-it"
notes, and placemarkers. The line that saves the editing session
is as follows:

JM 2.savesessQ2 ;*;

As the author of SmartSet it's not for me to say whether SAVESESS
is faster, more flexible and more comprehensive than the out-of-the-box
Resume. I leave that for others to decide. Cheers!
