One thing is would like to see is that another demo-saving option be added, such that you just have to press F6 then a button, and the demo will be saved from room entry up to this point. Sometimes you don't know ahead of time that you will want to save your moves. This shouldn't be hard to add since it is the same procedure as the "save on death" option. It isn't equivalent, however, because some rooms don't offer any way to die. Alternatively, a suicide button could be to allow you to voluntarily die and save a demo at any point.

Try pressing F4 halfway through a room. :)

Okay, so I'm feeling kinda dumb right now. (Even more so for thinking this would have escaped everyone else thus far.) Was this the case in 1.6 as well? If not, I can feel a little less dumb. I would still like a suicide button, though, just to see the look on Beethro's face as he falls on his own sword in a random act of suppukuness. -_-
