[R] lme object manipulation

[SHIN LIN]

Thanks for the reply, but I looked in each element of names(lme_res2) but did not find the value I was looking for.  Is there a way to output the object contents to a text file?  I can then lift the value with text manipulation.  

Obviously, other solutions are welcome, too.
