[BioC] Basic Question about gcrma & exporting to excel (command not working)

Hi List,
I am relatively new to Bioconductor and microarray data analysis. I apologize for the simple question, but when
I performed a search for the answer to my question, I could not find it in the archive (probably because my question is
so basic).
Sorry if I offend with my trivial question.
I am trying to normalize Affy microarray data. A former colleague of mine has an old version of R (R Gui?) and would
run the following commands. It works fine for him, but I don't have access to his version of R. I have R
version 2.10.1 and the command to export to excel won't work. I receive the error message:
Error: could not find function "exprs2excel". Is there a way to rectify my problem/an alternative command I can use?
Perhaps the command has been modified with the newer version of R?
My R Script is as follows:
> library(gcrma)
> setwd("C:\\affy\\Jennifer") normalized<-justGCRMA()
> exprs2excel(normalized,file="NormalGCRMA.csv")
Below is a copy of the output of the session information.
The following commands don't output what I need either:
|write.table|
write.csv(normalized,file="NormalGCRMA.csv")
I'm sure I'm doing something silly, but I'm stuck right now and currently, no one in my lab uses R.
Thanks in advance, Jennifer
