+ 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.
