[R] persiting complex R objects

[Wolski]

Hi!
?save
'save' writes an external representation of R objects to the
     specified file.  The objects can be read back from the file at a
     later date by using the function 'load' (or 'data' in some cases).


?load 

   Reload the datasets written to a file with the function 'save'.
