I would like to know (1) where the modified function is stored (the save button does not have an option to specify where the modified function will be saved), and (2) how I can access the modified function in other RStudio or R sessions, and (3) how I can make the function accessible to R and RStudio sessions run on other computers.

Not sure what this has to do with RStudio, but essentialy this is the 
wrong approach, since saving under a different name won't make the 
function available in R then.

If you really want to change some function, take its source version and 
edit it directly and then save it under some explicit name, then source 
it into R.
