R help - Jun 2009 - variable driven csv file names?

Is it possible to have variable driven csv file names?  Such as:

ds.name<-"bob.csv"

write.table(
      distribution.data,
      file = "~//Documents/Research/Distribution Analysis/ds.name",
      sep = ",",
      col.names = FALSE,
      qmethod = "double")

Yes.  You just need to construct your filename string using paste. Replace 
the file argument with

paste("~//Documents/Research/Distribution Analysis/", ds.name,
sep="")

Also take a look at ?file.path for platform independent file paths.
