save_cmd

           Saves current state into a command script file.
           To restore the state it is sufficient to run this file as
           an ordinary script.

           save

           This task saves the state in a sequence of commands which
           would create the current state. Following commands will be
           issued (if necessary to change the state):
              - set
              - data (reading data from file which must exist)
              - ignore
              - select
              - model
              - chpar
              - defpar (name)
              - tie
              - freeze
              - setplot
              - plot
              - legend
              - show
              - setformat
              - chres
              - chgrp
           Not covered commands are:
              - import
              - modify
              - error
              - merge
              - sort
              - wplot
              - any intermediate products from steppar, hist, pfold
                etc.

           Not all aspects of the current state are saved but only
           the main one which define the plotting/fitting. See
           DATA FORMAT.
           You can fool the system by using the data command with
           appropriate set-configuration and change it afterwards so
           the system could not track the origin of the data loaded.
           In that respect the save,*.sav task is safer. Also it
           could not be guaranteed that the state could be recovered
           for different versions of the cafe environment.
           This save format has the advantage of being small and
           editible, and could be used as a template for writing new
           scripts.

               -> saves current state, restores it by calling the
                  command script.
