That was my idea too, so I made a nethackdir/save/ in /usr/games/ (where
the falconseye binary is) and one in /usr/games/lib/ (where save files
live on my machine) and made both nethackdirs and both saves 777 just in
case; no luck (the kid currently playing patiently tries to save every
time I ask her to). She's playing from a konsole in hopes that it will
say where the game is trying put things, but it doesn't. :-(

Grrr. Frustration rules. Now if they wanted to play ASCII, I'd just wipe
everything and compile them each a brand-new 3.4.3, but they happen to
like Falcon's Eye (and I don't blame them; if I'd started at eight
instead of thirty-four I'd prefer it too).

The problem is, if they could save they could probably ascend.
