Ediff Session

When you get used to Ediff, you will find yourself trying to figure out what the difference is between several pairs of files. In these cases you might want to have several Ediff sessions running at the same time. Emacs supports this. By pressing z in the control buffer you suspend the Ediff session. You can then start a new Ediff session. To get to an another Ediff session, press R in the control buffer or press M-x and type eregistry. This brings you to a buffer called *Ediff Registry*. This buffer contain a list of all the Ediff sessions currently running. It can be seen in Figure 14.4.
