opening multiple layers at startup

Is there anyway to configure K-meleon such that you essentially have multiple home pages in layers that open up at program start-up?
It would be a nice feature since many users go to the same pages everytime they startup their browser.
thanks from a new user.

As far as I know, not at startup, but you can make your home page icon on the toolbar refer to a macro that opens multiple pages in layers like the following:
HomePages {
menu = "Home Pages";
open("
http://my.yahoo.com/"
$temp = "
http://www.planet-save.com/";
pluginmsg(layers, "OpenURLBg", $temp);
$temp = "
http://www.excite.com/";
pluginmsg(layers, "OpenURLBg", $temp);
}

It would be great if there would be some kind of
autoload macro. If defined, starting K-meleon
would automatically execute this macro.

I agree!
..a macro that opens multiple pages in layers like the following...
Yes.. and how about "bookmark this group of layers"!? Anybody wanna write that?

Ok. Maybe all this is a little too much to ask.
However, I thought that Mozilla has this kind of
behaviour. I not yet, it is under development.
Maybe it could be lifted to K-Meleon. It could be
very useful as we all know :-) Sorry that I don't
know more of Moziilla. As my computer has only
32 MB RAM I don't dream about bloatware. K-Meleon
is quite fast even with that memory.
Regarding of automacro, maybe a command
line option to execute any macro(s). Then
I could use different icons (startup properties) for
different configurations. As a non-programmer I
think that wouldn't be too difficult to implement
(wishful thinking!).

Both Mozilla & Phoenix have this feature.

Could be a pain in the parts if you use it off-line a lot, as I do, to have a lot of webpages trying to open at startup. I like the idea of a few different sets of pages with a key for each. Home page could be blank or a local file with a lot of links, then load a related group with one stroke.
I like Ismo's shortcut idea, but Windows might not. I'm still trying to figure out why I can add a mess of arguments to one and not another.
