  "Toggle desktop saving (Desktop Save mode).

When Desktop Save mode is enabled, the state of Emacs is saved from one
session to another.  The saved Emacs \"desktop configuration\" includes the
buffers, their file names, major modes, buffer positions, window and frame
configuration, and some important global variables.

To enable this feature for future sessions, customize `desktop-save-mode'
to t, or add this line in your init file:

    (desktop-save-mode 1)

When this mode is enabled, Emacs will save the desktop when it exits
(this may prompt you, see the option `desktop-save').  The next time
Emacs starts, if this mode is active it will restore the desktop.

To manually save the desktop at any time, use the command \\[desktop-save].
To load it, use \\[desktop-read].

Once a desktop file exists, Emacs will auto-save it according to the
option `desktop-auto-save-timeout'.

To see all the options you can set, browse the `desktop' customization group.

For further details, see info node `(emacs)Saving Emacs Sessions'."
