winvile (Clark Morgan's contribution here) does remember up to the last
20 files and directories, which I've found useful.  But reopening a file
at the last place I was editing never seemed useful enough to want to
implement it (since I'm _done_ at the previous location).

That, and because saving/reloading all of the relevant state would be
a performance hit.

however (as usual) I'll take into account patches, etc.

(at the moment I'm filling in the other 90% on a recent change for byacc)
