Saving figures

[Mathieu Dubois]

Hello,

I have see that there is 2 way in scilab to save a figure (not exporting 
it):
  - the generic save function (and the corresponding load function)
  - the function xsave which is specific to graphics (and the 
corresponding xload function)

Is there a difference in the 2 functions? For instance if I save a 
figure with xsave can I load it with load?

I believe that functions starting with x (xsave, xdel, ...) are 
deprecated, right?
