hello,
i've put together a little elisp that lets you save and restore w3m
sessions (see code and comments below). perhaps something like this is
already available somewhere, but i wasn't able to find it.
any comments very welcome!!! please cc: me in your followups (i'm not
(yet) subscribed to the list, sorry).
cheers,
jao

;;; Commentary:
;; INTRODUCTION:
;;
;; w3m-session provides persistent emacs-w3m browsing sessions. When
;; quitting w3m (or, if you request it, at any other time while using
;; it) you can save the current w3m session (that is, the set of open
;; tabs and the URLs they're visiting). Upon restarting emacs-w3m
;; (possibly after restarting Emacs itself) you'll have the possibity
;; of recovering the saved session (that is, of re-opening the saved
;; tabs and URLs). You also have at your disposal a command to recover
;; the saved session at any other time.
;;
;; INSTALLATION:
;;
;; Just put this file somewhere on your Emacs load path and add the
;; following line to your .emacs file:
;;
;; (require 'w3m-session)
;;
;; After restarting Emacs (or evaluating the form above), each time
;; you start emacs-w3m with 'w3m' you'll get a prompt asking whether
;; your last browsing session should be loaded. Likewise, when
;; quitting the browser, you'll have the possibility of saving your
;; current session (overwriting the previous one).
;;
;; In addition, two new interactive functions are defined:
;;
;; w3m-session-load -- load the last stored session
;; w3m-session-save -- save the current session
;;
;; These functions can be invoked at any time while running emacs-w3m.
;; Optionally, you can bind them to key shortcuts with the proper
;; variations of the following elisp magic in your .emacs:
;;
;; (define-key w3m-mode-map "S" 'w3m-session-save)
;; (define-key w3m-mode-map "L" 'w3m-session-load)
;;
;; CUSTOMIZATION:
;;
;; A new customization group, w3m-session, is available. There you can
;; customize the following variables:
;;
;; w3m-session-load-always -- if t, w3m-session-load will *not* ask
;; for confirmation
;; w3m-session-save-always -- if t, w3m-session-load will *not* ask
;; for confirmation
;; w3m-session-file -- the file where w3m session info is stored
