R help - Mar 2004 - help with file

Hi,

I am new at R, and I need some help with some basic stuff.

I want to do clustering of data. It works perfectly, but now I want to 
export my file form R to my Linux directory. The problem is that the file 
is generated only with the cluster numbers, but it does not carry over the 
identifiers. Let me show you what I did :

1. demo<-read.table("my_table", sep=",", header=TRUE)    
# I
imported my table into R as a data frame. I had header and one of my 
columns was called KEYS; this was the unique identifier for my data.
2. #clustering part
    >names(demo) 
    >dm<-dist(demo[,c(3,4,5)])  
    >names(dm)<-demo[,2]                #the unique Id called KEYS is in 
my column number 2
    >cluster<-hclust(dm)
    >plot(cluster)                                    #my data is 
displayed in dendogram

3. Now I want to see the breakdowns; I want to see every unique KEYS and 
corresponding cluster number
 
    >result<-cutree(cluster, h =1)
   >result                                   #I can see KEYS and 
corresponding cluster numbers

4. Now I want to export this info out of R into a file
    How do I do this??? I am going CRAZY. All I get is the cluster numbers 
but not the KEYS.

HELP!!!
