Oh! C-RET: I didn’t know this. And this itself is a big help. It is so much 
easier than having to change the buffer manually!

C-RET seems to be picking up the custom session name if it is already there. 
But otherwise it generates the default *R* session there,

This should surely be fixed.

Thanks a ton for C-RET :)
