This is almost enough to drive a person to join the "I hate MicroSoft" fan club.

I think that would just confirm my membership in the "I hate Emacs" club.

I don't see how this is Emacs fault...

It claimed to save a file somewhere, but didn't.


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.
