How do I "save state"?

[purpleninja]

Ok, i long time ago a friend burned me one of these "emulators" its called ZSNES, i've been messing around with it but I cant figure out how to save any games. i've tried pressing the autosave button and all that good stuff but I think i heard somewhere that i need to save it into a folder or some crap like that, I suck at technology so if anyone can help me out it would make my day.

moving to snes emulation.......

under game, just select the save state slot and then click save state. there are also hotkeys for it, but i dont remember what they are.
