I guess it is set that way here too.  Mine doesn't save anything but the 
stats and it has been that way here since I started playing Kpat.  I 
play Spider myself tho.  Pysol has a similar game but I don't like the 
cards style.  I like the plain cards and it seems to just have all sort 
of fancy cards.  I can't even read most of them.
