You *can't* do this (well, not easily, without compiling your own version of R or the car package). I don't know how the R Commander package works but I'm fairly certain it isn't restricted to datasets that come in packages. Lets take RCmdr our of the equation for a moment. You have an object 'Sales' in your R session. To save this as an R object for reuse in later sessions, just do save(Sales, file = "my_Sales_obj.rda") Next session, before you start RCmdr, do load(file = "my_Sales_obj.rda") That will make it available for use. The filenames I use can be whatever you want and should include the full path to where you want it saving if not in the current working directory.
