Save your editing sessions
If you have multiple windows/tabs open you can save the session (ie: the state of your open files and tabs) before quitting and re-open them later.
" Session Management
function SaveSession()
if winnr('$') > 1 || tabpagenr('$') > 1
" we have more than one windows or tabs open, ask whether we want
" to save the session.
let save_sesssion = confirm("Save session ? ", "&yes\n&no", 1)
if save_sesssion == 1
call inputsave()
let session_fl = input("save as: ", getcwd()."/.session.vim", "file")
call inputrestore()
execute 'mksession!' session_fl
endif
endif
endfunction
function LoadSession()
if argc() != 0
return
endif
let session_fl = getcwd()."/.session.vim"
if filereadable(session_fl)
let load_sesssion = confirm("Load session from '".session_fl."'?", "&yes\n&no\nload and delete\ndelete", 1)
if load_sesssion == 1 || load_sesssion == 3
execute 'source' session_fl
endif
if load_sesssion == 3 || load_sesssion == 4
call system('unlink '.session_fl)
endif
endif
endfunction
au VimLeavePre * call SaveSession()
au VimEnter * call LoadSession()

Umm, yeah, it is a bit similar, I guess, although this will automatically prompt you to save sessions if you have more than one windows/tabs open when you are quitting vim and also let you enter the path to your session file without having to specifically enter a command (unlike Snippet #76).
Well, feel free to delete this one if you think it is a dup.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up. This is an improvement from my point of view.
I wont (ever) delete snippets on this site, but you could comment on Snippet #76 and explain your improvement and link to this one if you want.

This Snippet seems to be very similar to Snippet #76
