[gov2001-l] about the treatment of NA

I am not quite sure, but I think the problem is in the save line. If you look at args(save), you will see that it the arguments go like this: ..., list=, file=). I think R is interpreting you as saying that you want your data and a string saved, or is interpreting the "eggpow1.Rdata" as the name of a list. Try save(eggpow, file="eggpow1.Rdata") and see if that does the trick.
