Hi all,

the keybindings which are mentioned in the FAQ:
http://www.scummvm.org/faq/#3_5

|3.5. Can I save/restore the game?
|
|Yes. Saving and restoring is already supported (ALT-1/9 to save, CTRL - 1/9 to restore, or F5 to access the save/load menu).

are not documented in man scummvm (and caused me losting my first MI session yesterday).

Thanks for the great job!

    Er, what do you mean?

    I just checked the README file. Here's it is:

    5.5) Hot Keys:
    ---- ---------
    ScummVM supports various in-game hotkeys. They differ between SCUMM games and other games.
    (...)
    SCUMM:
    Ctrl 0-9 and Alt 0-9 - Load and save game state
    (...)
    F5 - Displays a save/load box
    Alt-F5 - Displays the original save/load box, if the
    game has one. You can save and load games using
    using this, however it is not intended for this
    purpose, and may even crash ScummVM in some
    games.

    Thus, I'm inclined to close this one as invalid....
