For saves, you have to create an "archive" then "restore" it. This is done in the game loading page. Check the manual for that info. Here's a quick rundown:

To make/send an archive, follow these steps:

Off the Main Menu, Go to the Load Game Screen.
Find the game in question. You will see an "A" button for archiving
Click on the A Button, and enter an archive name.
Find the <GameData Directory> location, which can be looked up in the Administration Screen (Directories Button). that is where the file would be under archives.
Then on the other machine, put the file in the same archive location. Then use the load screen to "Restore".

Thanks for the info on this... my first reaction was to just copy files. I never associated an archive with the way to move a game from one place to another - just concentrated on the 'save'.

The game restored fine -- and played w/o changes, but the background color on the command buttons and the info bar at the top changed from the standard black to what appears to be one of the colors I picked for my pieces... (?) Not disabling, but strange.

Thanks, again...

Attempted to follow your directions again for a second game and came up with the above. Any ideas?

The only thing that I can think of that was different (other than this was a new laptop and the game was the first game played) was that the game would come up at end of turn and I would say "wait" before proceeding and then did the game archive.

I haven't fiddled with anything else so if you need any other info please let me know.

Sincerely,

Gary

PS: No, I don't go looking for these things... Game archived on Win10, loaded on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - both the latest version.
