Dear RMetrics maintainers,

Congratulations for this very useful R package.  There appears to be a
bug in the fredImport function in the fImport package.  The line

    if (save) {
        write.table(as.data.frame(X))
    }

does not include a filename, and prints out the file to the console
instead of saving it.  The corresponding line in yahooImport is:

    if (save) {
        write.table(as.data.frame(X))
    }

Here is a description of the package version that I am using:
