I've also learned that there is a hot key to pull up the security info (haven't tried it yet). I believe it is key "1". I also read that if we continue using the same slot something will fell.

My question is regarding the last statement. What happens if we (me) continue using the same slot? Is this defininte or just a possibility? If it going to fail it is best I forfeit now and start over.

Secure PBEM games should never be shared in the same slot, as it completely screws up the recording of security loads/quits information for the multiple games. You wont be able to tell if your opponent is cheating, and he will get duff info as well.

One secure PBEM game occupies the same slot for the entire life of that game.

If you need more than 5 secure games played at the same time then get the CD edition.

Insecure mode can be played in the same slot as they do not record loads and quits info.
