[R] Creating file names.

[Don MacQueen]

Your easiest starting point is probably

   file = format(Sys.time())

and then look at the online help for the strptime function to learn 
about formatting options.

For example
   format( Sys.time() , '%m%d%y' )

Use paste() and some formatting of Sys.time() to construct the form 
you are looking for.
