Hello Ed,
As you know I'm not a programmer and know nothing about it but what do you mean
by "dependant"??  Sure you need to be told "lets start a new game/It's your
move" but seems to me letting your opponent control if you save info or not is
crazy.  How can the "master" stop you from saving info before starting a new
game?
Jim
