Saving High Score - Working?

When I first played MAME (about 2 years ago) the game (Mr Do, Ms Pcman etc)
used to save the High Score on the HDD. When u played the game next time,
the high scores reloaded. Neat feature. I think it went into a directory
under MAME called "HI". Anyways, I'm using the latest MAME now (v .9) and
the High Score function is gone ! What happened to it ?
