The manual says

   Currently, data files can have one of three types as indicated by their
   extension: plain R code (.R or .r), tables (.tab, .txt, or .csv), or
   save() images (.RData or .rda). (All ports of R use the same binary
   (XDR) format and can read compressed images. Use images saved with save(,
   compress = TRUE), the default, to save space.)

What more information do you need?  ?save may help you.

Deli

the way I do it is to start with an
R session with the data objects in
memory.

Then package.skeleton() creates a
directory tree which is, well, a package skeleton,
including the data which appears as .rda files in
the data/ directory.
