Re: Is there a way to save the game and not exit?

There isn't any such command. This is a hallmark of the
roguelike
genre. Once you die, that particular game is over (although nethack
has
an item called amulet of life-saving; wearing one lets you survive

Is there a way to save the game and not exit?
