title: Problems saving a workspace in R
body: <p>I'm new to R but am slowing getting the hang of the basics. However I'm struggling to save and then open my work. I am saving as an .RData file however the file appearis in Windows Explorer simple as a 'File'. When trying to load a workspace into R these files only show when I change 'Files of type' from '.RData' to 'All files' and it will refuse to open these files. What am I doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Also - if this were to work correctly would this method be similar to opening up a saved Word document - in that everything is the same as it was when I saved it and I can just continue my work?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks</p>
