Saving window positions and speedbar

[Enrico Schwass]

Hi

I am using Gnu Emacs under linux console. (not X)
I would like to create 4 windows. One for source code, one for
documentation, one for speedbar and one for calendar/diary or mail
--------
|  1 | 2  |
--------
|  3 | 4  |
--------

My first problem is that speedbar always use the whole screen.
My second problem is that I dont know how to save window positions.
I am an emacs newbie and dont know anything about lisp programming, yet.

Is it possible to configure emacs that way??

Thanks in advance
Rico
