To be honest, no. You say you guessed at the the syntax based on what
you read in ?rm. Why you would do that instead of referring directly
to ?save is made me suspect that you didn't actually read the
documentation, especially since the relevant arguments are the same in
both functions. At any rate, what is it you find unclear about the
documentation for the save function? It all seems pretty clear to me,
but then I've been reading R documentation for some time. Perhaps if
you explain what you didn't understand someone can help you clarify.
