It seems that you really can't save a level and then play it thru after
re-starting.  Once you re-start a level from a saved position, then certain
important switches don't seem to work anymore.  I not sure I see this behaviour
with the the registered version (I don't recall).  Anyways, what I did with the
shareware version was to save at the _end_ of each level.  If you die, then
restart from this position.

Also, I can't seem to save more than 4 games on the 6 save-game page on any
versions.
