Invalid input in 'utf8towcs' when saving script file

Hello,

When I try to save my script file before closing the R console session I get this error.

Error: invalid input 'C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\xxxx\datafile' in 'utf8towcs'  

Does anyone know what can cause this error?

I use the RGui  (R verison 2.14.0) in Windows and the problem appears when I try to re-save the script file. Using Save as and rename it works. 



Kind regards,

Marine Andersson

I imagine it is converting some non-ascii character.  But 2.14.0 isn't 
current, so it might be a bug that has since been fixed.
