[Orgmode] [babel] Uses for :session buffers

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha all,

I'm trying to comprehend the possibilities created by org-babel, and would like to draw on the experience of others if I could.

I recently discovered the buffer created by :session.  In my case, this is an R session that I am building to track the data collection phase of a research project.  I was delighted to find that it appears to have recorded everything my org file had done in that session.  I have a vague idea that it might be useful to save this as a log to prove that all the little source blocks in my org file indeed were called and executed successfully. 

I'm wondering: do other org-babelers use the :session buffer?  How?  For what purpose?

Any tips or advice will be appreciated.

All the best,

Tom
