Well as I understand you use Emacs regularly. And you do not know how
to find a special file on it?
Ok this is what I've done
C-h a tetris
a window with this name comes up
moved the cursor on it typed F5 which runs
find-symbol-at-point here. Tetris is a functions so
find-function-at-point would have been fine too
a buffer with tetris.el has been opened.
run C-s score
type it again and found this:
(defvar tetris-score-file "/tmp/tetris-scores"
;; anybody with a well-connected server want to host this?
;(defvar tetris-score-file "/anonymous@ftp.pgt.com:/pub/cgw/tetris-scores"
"File for holding high scores")
Well, how much easier could one find things?
The answer is
(setq tetrix-score-file "path_which_persists")
