R help - May 2000 - dput

I have two questions regarding the use of function
dput().  I am using R (v1.0.1) to create input files
for WinBUGS.

First, I would like to have the output data round to
the specified decimal places.  I used function
round().  However, occasionally, dput() will write
0.0005 as 5e-4.  Is there a way to correct this?

Second, when writing a matrix, the resulting output is
in the form:

structure(c(0, 1, ...), .Dim=c(2,3))

Is it possible to have the same output format as in 
Splus:

structure(.Data=c(0, 1, ...), .Dim=c(2,3))

Thanks in advance.

Not easily.
