You have more or less answered the question: you can save groups
of objects by the save() command and load them again by the load()
command.  That is `all' the save and restore of .RData does (and
save.image is a wrapper to save to save all current objects).

However, what you seem really to want to do is the purpose of packages:
put different groups of functions and datasets in your own packages.
You can have a private library of packages: the `folders' are the the
packages.
