| Emacs is more of an "environment" than just an editor, since it has the |
| strong configuration language, emacs-lisp. There are a lot of applications |
| written in emacs-lisp, and you may run many applications on your Emacs at |
| the same time, i.e. e-mail reader, news reader, IRC client, a kind of IDE, |
| etc. These applications likely consist of two or more windows, so when you |
| switch among applications, you may want to save or restore how windows are |
| located (this is called as "window-configuration"). For this purpose, Emacs |
| has two functions, window-configuratin-to-register and jump-to-register, but |
| these are too primitive to use on a daily basis. |
| |
| ElScreen provides the ease-to-use environment to save or restore several |
| window-configurations. |
