R help - Mar 2014 - Saving R files

Sometimes I don't understand the details of writeups I get, with ?save 
and the like.  Anyway, that's my problem now.

Can I do this (in Windows 7) to save everything that comes up with ls(), 
guessed at by what I find with ?rm:

save(list=ls(),file="C:\am\myfiles\ProjectA.RData")

Or would I need forward slashes, but this would otherwise work?  If not, 
how could I accomplish this goal?

David

Hi David,

Did you actually read the help file for 'save'? The answer to your
fist question is there. The answer to your second question is in
section 2.16 of the 'R for Windows FAQ'.

Best,
Ista
