I am using vm 4.40. If I have one window (say, an edit buffer), then I use vm, then quit vm, it restores my old window. If, however, I had more than one window open, it restores only one window when I exit vm. Is there a fix? Thanks.

Is there a fix? Well, the issue is complicated by the fact that more than one VM session can be active at a time. That is, there's one session per active folder. Should all of them save the current window state when they start or just the first one? If the former, then what should be done if you exit the sessions in a different order than you started them? If you view VM as a subroutine then restoration is logical. In truth VM is more like a coroutine, as are most (GNU) Emacs major modes. I'm not sure window restoration is appropriate. [ Further discussion on this topic should probably occur in the info-vm mailing list. ]
