Is there a way to create projects (i.e. save layouts)

[Dan Anderson]

Is there a way to create a project file or something so that I could
type:

$emacs ./openproject.el  # or something similar

And emacs would load with all files I was working on in a project?  I am
currently writing BASH scripts to create a very long emacs load line,
and was hoping there was an easier way.  (i.e. register a file to a
project when I create it).

Thanks in advance,

Dan
