Lazy - Efficient, Potato - Potaaahto

I don't really tend to share my most complex and production related scripts because this is more of a tutorial and tip related blog.  In that same vane I have mentioned in the past that there are times that you do the same task several times or come up with a new procedure that you implement in several jobs that just begs for a simple script.  This is one of those times.

I have found over the years that having a simple command that saving the current states of things so you can recall them later is a big time saver.  For example save the current window display parameters so you can come back to the same settings later, or save the layer on/off states for easy recall.  There are ways to do stuff like this but I just want one two letter macro to save something and another to restore it.  Lately I have been working with 5-6 files at a time and if I jump out of the program or switch from VrOne to VrTwo I want to open the same files.  Hence StoVr.py, and GetVr.py to take a snapshot of open files and re-open them if I need to.
