[R] RCOM Save

[Erich Neuwirth]

Please be more precise.
You seem not to use the rcom (note the lowercase name) package,
but the RDCOMClient package which is not available from CRAN
but as part of the Omegahat project.

rcom has a command comCreateObject and RDCOMClient has a command COMCreate.

The code you supplied will definitely not run in with rcom.
Furthermore, if your code had included the appropriate
library statement, things would have been much clearer.
