I believe that I tried invoking a save session command from the menu,
which did not help. I don't know if it's the same as the command you
refer to. Settings->Session->Save Current Session

If you send me detailed enough reference material, I would be happy to
work on some manpages for you. I have only avoided doing so thus far as
I did not know the appropriate process to submit them, and was missing
detailed enough reference material to create them. I'd like to
contribute something, and since I complain often about documentation and
a coding project would probably take too much ramp-up time, this seems a
way that I could help.
