Hi,

  Thanks for getting back to me.

these ones work but the ! prefix commands are more convenient. 

For #1, I realized that my description of the problem is unclear. It is the completion in the minibuffer that does not work, i.e., the completion of the object name to dump. The R objects I work with have complex names and having to write them out is tedious and error prone.
