R help - Jul 2004 - How to add an object to an RData file ?

Hi,

I've saved an RData file with "save" and now I want to add a new
object
to this file. At the moment I do:

attach("file.RData")
save(list=c("new,obj", ls(pos=2)), file="file.RData",
compress=T)
detach()

Is there a quicker method that just add the object to the file ?

Thanks

EJ

I can't think of a faster way.

I guess it would be nice if save() has an `append' option...
