I?m just starting to learn and use R Studio in my Mac. Now I find if I type lines in what I think is called the source pane, and use Save as from the menu, nothing gets saved. That?s true if I add the extension .R or the extension .txt. If I try reopen the file in an empty source pane, it?s empty. And even if I open the file in a text editor, it?s blank. How can I save my work from R Studio?

Rui is correct but you should also check that you have write--permission to the directory you are accessing

... and moreover, the R Foundation that maintains and releases updates of R software(open source licensed, free) is a totally separate, non-profit entity from the RStudio organization, a for profit-company that has built a support/data science infrastructure based on R(some of which is free and some of which they charge for). (Don't feel bad: this is a regular source of confusion on this forum).
