Manual saving
 Can be permanently saved in a file – save command
 Can be reloaded for future sessions – load command

# Example code
save(a, file=“sess1.Rdata”) # to save a single variable ‘a’
# to save a full workspace with specified file name
save(list=ls(all.names=TRUE), file=“sess1.Rdata”)
save.image() # short cut function to save whole workspace
load(file=“sess1.Rdata”) # to load saved workspace
