File/Open New Game... Ctrl+O
Opens a file open dialog to choose a new game to be loaded. Any game currently in memory will
be lost if a new game is selected. The names of the four most recently loaded games are shown
just above the Exit item in this menu and can be selected directly. A new game can be loaded
at any time.
When loading the game file (e.g. "Pawn.mag"), the interpreter will also try to load a graphics file of the same name but with the extension ".gfx" (i.e. "Pawn.gfx" in this example), and a hint file of the same name but with the extension ".hnt". If the graphics file is found then the pictures are displayed in the main or a separate window, depending on the options selected. If the hint file is found then the interpreter will provide a hints dialog for the game when "hint" is entered as a command.
File/Script... F5
Opens a file save dialog to select a file to save the script of the current game to. The script
contains all text output by the game and commands input by the user. Select this item again to
turn scripting off.
File/Record... F6
Opens a file save dialog to select a file to save command input to. This file will contain the
text of all commands input by the user. Select this item again to turn recording off.
File/Playback... F7

using the Record menu item. The game will play back all the commands in the file as if the user
had typed them in.
