       The file was saved, because when I reopened it in Emacs, the 
changes were there.  Windows 7 created a phantom copy, which it 
delivered to Emacs when I clicked and dragged it to the Emacs icon on 
the task bar.  To fix the problem, I copied the file to a non-protected 
place, opened it and the other copy in Emacs, copied the changes from 
the phantom copy into the non-protected copy, then copied the 
non-protected, edited version into the protected, default R installation 
directory.  I had not encountered this problem earlier, because I 
usually install R in an unprotected location.  I got sloppy with R 
1.15.0 and accepted the default installation directory.


       Best Wishes,
       Spencer
