Hi Andrey,

Thanks for your attention. It's a game score (top 10 players).

I thought saving under $HOME, but then others players would see only
their own name.

Any suggestion?

Hi Hermann,

While tmp is a good idea for some other things I have here, in the
case of scores it would be better if the file is protected from
accidental deletion.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Beco.
