Um. What I mean is that there are a few areas in some Phoenix games
where you aren't allowed to save. This is so that you can't do some of
the puzzles by brute force. "undo" should probably not be allowed in
these areas either.

I _believe_ that in Avon there are certain circumstances where saving
makes the game unwinnable, but you are told that you have a bad
feeling or something. (Again, it's to stop you from using brute force
on something)
