How to save all global variables using the save command.

? save
     ...
     The special form `save (<filename>, values, functions, labels,
     ...)'  stores the items named by `values',  `functions',
     `labels',  etc.  The names may be any specified by the variable
     `infolists'.    `values' comprises all user-defined variables.
     ...

So:

     save(filename, values)

          -s
