OK, then you should have an MA object.  
You can use:
getwd()
to see your current directory,
and 
setwd("C:/Microarray/NormalizationResults")
to change your current directory.  (Forward-slashes are better 
than back-slashes if you are a Windows user.)

Then to write tab-delimited text files, try this:

The first method writes the M values including an initial 
column containing row names of the R matrix MA$M:

write.table(MA$M,file="Mvalues.txt",sep="\t",col.names=NA)

The second method omits the row names:

write.table(MA$M,file="Mvalues2.txt",sep="\t",row.names=FALSE)

You can do the same thing for MA$A.

Hope this helps,
James
