RYE178'S PROFILE

Forgive me for all the questions; i've seemed to search long enough for this with no results. While the player is playing the game, lets say they press esc to get to the menu. Is there anyway I could rid the levels, hp, etc. just so they have the option to save and view their items?

I have recently gotten rpgmaker 2003, have been playing around with it for while and I'm starting to put together a small game for practice. I have made my title screen, it shows up in the database but when I test play it's just a blue background? I think it's the system graphic that's making it that way, I'm just not sure how to fix it. Could anyone help me? Thanks!
