I don't use RStudio, so I have no idea if it overwrites the base fix() function. But if it does, this is the wrong place to ask about it, so here's the base R answer. fix() saves the edited function to your workspace. That is, if you type ls() at an R prompt after running fix(), it will show your new edited function. The usual methods for exporting something from R to your hard disk will work, such as save() and load(). You could also put your function into a text file myfun.R and use source() to read it into R. Once you've used one of these options to save your file to disk, it is portable between R sessions and computers. I find it much more convenient to use a text editor and source(), personally, rather than fix(). That eases the transition into making packages too.
