The same as on windows, except with unix file specifiers

sink('output.txt') will place the output file in the working directory

sink('~/Documents/output.txt') will place the output file in Documents  
within your home folder

sink('~/Documents/myoutput/output.txt') will place the output file in  
the myoutput folder of Documents within your home folder, and so on

sink('/Volumes/Backup/output.txt') will place the output file at the  
top level of disk Backup

This would obviously be easier if there was a menu command.
