How to save in Discworld 2 on Android 4 ICS (Galaxy Nexus)?

I'm playing Discworld 2 and its working perfectly but how do I save the game?
ScummVMs save feature is greyed out all the time.

Discworld currently doesn't support saving/loading from the (scummvm in-game) main menu. It is expecting F5.

Look at the wiki for how to activate virtual keyboard and then use the virtual keyboard to press F5.

Since that documentation is frankly not really sufficient, I'll explain how to do it:

1). Activate the virtual keyboard by holding down the menu button.
2). Switch to the #s.
3). Since the virtual keyboard usually won't have F-keys, press the # that corresponds to the F-key you want to press, in this case 5 (for the save menu) or 1 (for the game's main menu) will both work ok. Then use back to leave the virtual keyboard and the menu will appear.
