There's no such "should".  By convention,
buffers named `*...*' are not associated with
a file.  But you can save not only any buffer
but even any region of any buffer in a file.

You will likely want to give the file a
different name, e.g., dropping the asterisks
but, depending on your operating system, even
that might not be a requirement.
