Hit escape, then select Save instead of Abandon.

Done.

That should be all there is to it. Where is your DF directory located?

It's a silly question, but have you extracted the zip or are you running the exe from within it. DF needs to be extracted (preferably into a folder of it's own) for saves to work properly.
