Not sure how to save router configs in GNS3?

Greetings. I'm got some downtime and I'm labbing around with some Cisco IOS and GNS3.

I've noticed that even though I think I'm saving my topology, its not saving the IOS configs that are tied to a router.

I searched around and found an old thread from good old TechExams from 2008:http://www.techexams.net/forums/ccnp/38539-gns3-saving-lab-configuration.html

Also found a hit from youtube from '08 as well and looks like they are using an older version of GNS3 (I'm using 0.8.3.1).

So, my question is how to save the startup config and have it load as the running config. It looks like there are two things under File, either save topology or save project. I'm not sure which one to do?

Also I've noticed that if you right-click on a router and select Startup-Config, looks like there might be an option to select a .cfg file, however I'm not sure either. thanks

    Save the config @ the CLI like you would on a real router, then save the topology in GNS3.

    I don't know if my .net files are corrupt or there is an issue with GNS3.

    Even after I use the following commands for a switch/router
    copy run start 

wr

    And then I either "Save or "Save Topology As."

    My configs are not getting saved. At one time they were and no it isn't working.
