lisp error in wxmaxima



Hello All

When I run the following line in wxmaxima I get the following error

(%i1) save("tmp.save", a, b, c);

Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

Error in SYMBOL-NAME [or a callee]: "tmp.save" is not of type SYMBOL.

Automatically continuing.

To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.

The line works fine in xmaxima and the command line maxima. Why do I get this error?
