[R] Exporting a list of lists

[jim holtman]

What do you want to do with the data?  Are you just storing it to read
in it later?  Have you looked at 'save/load'?  If you want a character
representation, try 'dput'; this can be read back in with 'source'.
So it all depends on what you are planning to do with it.
