+=== Loading and saving the game
+
+It is a good idea to save the game regularly -- for example, at the start
+of each new level. You may also want to save the game after completing a
+challenging section of a level so that you do not have to repeat it again
+if you die.

+
+To save the game, press _Esc_ to bring up the menu, select _Save Game_ and
+choose a slot to save in. Type a description for the save game and press
+_Enter_. Some source ports have a limited number of slots, in which case you
+will have to overwrite an existing saved game once there are no more slots
+available. For the same reason it's a good idea to write a good description
+for your saved game. Include the level number and something descriptive of
+where you've reached; for example, "C1M3 - Blue Key Door".
+
+The _Load Game_ menu usually looks largely identical to the _Save Game_
+menu. To restore your saved game, simply select _Load Game_ from the main
+menu and choose your saved game.
+
+If you find yourself saving the game often, you may want to use the
+_Quicksave_ feature. Press _F6_ during play to quicksave. The _Save Game_
+menu appears as usual; choosing a slot makes that your quicksave slot.
+Pressing _F6_ again in the future will overwrite your quicksave slot with
+just a couple of keystrokes. If you die you can also restore your
+quicksave slot by pressing _F9_.
+
+=== Quitting the game
+
 When you're finished playing Freedoom, press _Esc_ to bring up the main
 menu and select _Quit Game_ to exit. You may want to select _Save Game_
 first to save your progress so that you can return to where you left off
 next time you play.
