[R] source output differs from console output

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

1) When you use source() you need to explicitly print results, and not
rely on auto-printing.

2) write() is not the way to write to a file, except for matrices. Use
cat() directly. In any case, you don't want to write the summary to the
file, but the printed version produced by the print method for the summary
object.

So add some print() statements to your script and all should be well.
