R help - Aug 2008 - Write greek text to Windows Unicode file

Hi, everybody!
I am an experienced senior programmer, but absolutely newbie in R, so excuse me
if my question is too silly.
I need for my work to evaluete some greek text statistically. The text  is in a
Windows Unicode file, so I read it in via
                             readLines(...,encoding="UCS-2LE")
and it works perfectly! But finally the program has to write out the results
(e.g. frequencies, but of course the greek root words too) to an output unicode
text file, which could be later read in by another R program or edited by
Notepad or MS Word. I tried it with the same method (for examle using cat), but
the result, i.e. the output  isn't a rightly encoded Windows file.
Before sending this email I've searched for an answer to my question in the
helps and also in learning guides and have found some hints but no solution.
Please do help me!

It is probably (we have no reproducible example) a correctly encoded 
Unicode-standard file (the point being that Windows used non-standard 
BOMs).

Please do help us to help you by giving the reproducible example the 
posting guide asked you for.

Please send properly formatted plain text -- I've had to reformat this.
