R help - Aug 2009 - libname version in R

Hello friends, 
in SAS there is the 'libname' source. You associate a way.. ex: ab ..
"C:\My
Paste\Works" and when u do 

data ab.example;
(...)
run;

you are saving the archive "example" in a SAS format, and you can see 
C:\My Paste\Works\example "growing" ("example"'s
size:200MB... refresh..
500MB.. refresh.. 1.2GB...)
>How can I do something like that in R?
My main point is to know for sure if my work is really being processed or
for some reason R "crashed" and I would be waiting forever, and also
because
I believe it will turn my life easier (not importing, exporting, loading all
the time), won't it?

As far as I know, you cant do it with R. The best you can do is export it
(write) all the time, than you will see your archive "growing"
wherever you
output him. You should take a look at "filehash" package, i guess it
talks
something about "not always working in memory".

Bye
