   8   <p>Click the link from the index page which says
   9   "<a href="/save_restore">Save/Restore</a> Session".</p>
  10   <h3>Saving</h3>
  11   <p>Click the link which says "Get file". When prompted for an action,
  12   save the file somewhere you will remember. By default it is named "capture_session",
  13   but you can change the name as you wish.</p>
  14   <h3>Restoring</h3>
  15   <p>Use the file upload form to find a saved session file.
  16   Click the "Submit" button to add all the saved variables
  17   to the current session. A message, "Variables successfully restored",
  18   will appear at the bottom of the page if everything worked,
  19   otherwise an error message is shown.</p>
  20   <h3>File Format</h3>
  21   <p>The syntax used in the restore file is identical to that used for
  22   Lineal's calculator, making heavy use of the
  23   <a href="./concatenating.txt">concatenating</a> functions. So, anything
  24   acceptable in the calculator is acceptable in the restore file.
