Where's the radiosity save_file / load_file gone?

Message window tells me I should use "the" .ini option instead - but it doesn't
tell me how it's called.

I bet it's not simply "save_file", because that would be way too ambiguous.

So a short introduction of how to do radiosity save_file / load_file with the
beta (.29) would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure, but I seem to remember that, as radiosity is still in alpha 
stage in the beta, the save/read possibility is not implemented. I suggest 
you browse through the release notes, I think the early ones.

Release notes didn't give any clue. I ended up browsing the source code instead,
and found the save_file / load_file code commented-out, with no replacement
anywhere in sight.

Geez, I want the 3.7, and I want the radiosity load/save feature in it! My
fingers itch to do something about it... If only I had the time!
