NOT RESTORE - To save SAVE it will ask which file I just put COL, To load back start game type RESUME it will ask which file. I put COL Game was back where I saved it with COL. As simple as that. For further saves put COL1, COL2 , COL3, etc. upper or lower case does not matter. I hope that solves the problem.
