[R] latex function in Hmisc

[BXC (Bendix Carstensen)]

Is there a way to prevent latex.default() from starting LaTeX and JUST
create the file requested?
I generate a number of LaTeX tables for inclusion in a document running
R in batch, and I don't want a lot of calls to LaTeX. 
I cannot find any arguments for that task in the documentation.
It seems a little clumsy to have to direct the output from a function
with a "file" argument using sink() and 'file=""'.
