John,

Try this:

> write.table(head(iris), sep = ",", 
              row.names = FALSE, col.names = FALSE)
5.1,3.5,1.4,0.2,"setosa"
4.9,3,1.4,0.2,"setosa"
4.7,3.2,1.3,0.2,"setosa"
4.6,3.1,1.5,0.2,"setosa"
5,3.6,1.4,0.2,"setosa"
5.4,3.9,1.7,0.4,"setosa"


You may need to explicitly adjust other arguments that are otherwise set
to defaults when using write.csv().

HTH,
