R help - Nov 2005 - How to open a text file in my screen (not in the R session)?

In the middle of my code, I have the following:

write.table(PredictionTest, file = "predictions.txt")

what I would like is that inmediately after this line is executed, the file
predictions.txt is opened in the middle of my screen (not in my R session,
where I continue running my code). Is there an easy way to do that?

Thank you

If the pager is set up appropriately use file.show() or start another 
program by a system() call.

You could use the following istruction:

system("notepad predictions.txt",wait=FALSE)

I hope this will be helpful.
