I'm making an RPG with stats are constantly changing, and I want to know how to save a location. For example, if chose to save in a menu at label K, how would you get back to lbl K?
Actually, I need help with saving a game in general I think, because I didn't completely understand the page on saving.
so, can someone plz answer this and write a sample chunk of code to save using the following requirements and explain the difficult parts? I would be really grateful

Your character has like 11 diff. stats that I put in a list. Health, attack, defense, range, money, experience, etc. To make it easy, just use {1,2,3,4,5}→L₁

There are a couple menus representing places and there will probably be 7 options on all of them. Will the seventh option have to be saving, or could I use getkey where something like the quit button automatically saves and exits?

This may not be important, but I’m going to have a battle scene often, like the Pokémon games, with different attacks

thx for any help

Well first off, welcome to the site, we always need someone to help others with programming. And second it seems like you need help. I may not be an expert at saving but what i would do is just save your graph coordinates such as something like this:

:
:Repeat [variable]=[whatever key you want the user to input]
:getkey→[variable]
:line(A,B,A,B,not([variable
:min(62,max(0,A+sum(Δlist([variable]={24,26→A
:min(62,max(0,A+sum(Δlist([variable]={34,25→B
:([variable]=[whatever key you want the user to input])A→Y
:([variable]=[whatever key you want the user to input])B→Z
:End

This is an option that i came up with. What it does is when the user puts in the key that you want to start the fight, the coordinates will be stored to Y and Z. All you have to do is unpack the variables and put them as A or B.

This another option you could just remember not to mess with A or B. and just use other variables.

If during the game the stats are stored in L1 then when the user clicks the option to save the game store L1 along with world coordinates and such as a new list, make it like ∟SAVEx where x would be the save slot, then when loading a game have the needed parts of ∟SAVEx stored as L1.
