Saving a game is very simple. You have to just press S (s + Shift) and the game is saved.
To load the game, you just have to type the same name as in the saved file.
Example
What is my name? Jack, and I am (whatever).
I start the game.
Wow! It is late! I have to stop playing now!
I press S. Yes, I do really want to save.
Next day:
What a wonderful day to play Nethack! I start the game..
What is my name? I type Jack (note: this is case sensitive!)
I press OK. Now I have loaded my saved Nethack file!
Savescumming, while associated with saving, is not the same thing!
