Hello.

I posted this question before, but apparently I didn't make things clear
enough, and this led to misunderstandings on the part of the kind people who
replied.  So, I'll try again:

I'm using GNU emacs, version 18.55.  What I would like to do is to reset
the state of my emacs session back to the point right before ~/.emacs
was loaded, AND I WANT TO DO THIS WITHOUT EXITING EMACS (i.e., without
getting out and then typing 'emacs -q').

My goal is to unbind all user-defined functions and variables, and to
delete all user-defined buffers, windows, etc.

Is this possible?  If so, how?

Reply either to gnu.emacs.help or to my address below.

Thanks in advance.
