Re: [orca-list] linux notetaker (was gui)

Well, what would be ideal would be an editor that would automatically 
open the files I had open in it the last time I closed it, and 
furthermore, would remember my place in each file. I used to use NoteTab 
in Windows, which behaved this way, but I haven't found an editor in 
Linux yet that has this feature. Granted, I haven't looked too hard yet, 
but if anyone knows of such an editor, I'd like to hear about it. BTW, I 
am an Emacs user, so if anyone knows of a package or maybe just some 
ELISP code that does this, that would even be better!
