Organized windows order in ratpoison?

Is it possible to get ratpoison to remeber a programs number? for example... i have 4 programs running: 0. urxvt/ssh, 1. firefox, 2. wine/spotify, 3. skype, 4. urxvt. (you know... ctrl+t+number) Can i somehow make it so that skype always have the same "tab" like tab 3 and firefox tab 1? nomather the startuporder?

Re: Organized windows order in ratpoison?

I'm not in front of my computer right now to try to see if this even works, and also going from memory so it may be utterly and completely wrong...  But assuming that you start a program something like Ctrl+t s for Skype then putting something like

bind s exec ratpoison -c /usr/bin/skype -c number 3

in your .ratpoisonrc might work.  Parts of that might need to be quoted (if it even works), but my memory is a bit fuzzy.
