R help - Aug 2010 - Exporting nlme summary

I'm trying to export the results of my summary data for the object
horton.nlme, but failing miserably.  Running summary(horton.nlme) works
fine, but both write.table and write.csv return the error "cannot coerce
class 'c("summary.lme", "nlme", "lme")'
into a data.frame".

I know I can copy and paste the output from the summary function, but it's
ugly because the spacing between numbers and fields is minimal.

Thanks for any help!

I believe this has been discussed many times in the archives. Here is
one way to do it.

Use function "sink" to direct the output to a file you specify
>sink(file='your file.txt')
after you execute this command, all the output will be saved to your
file and you won't see it on the screen. Say
>summary(horton.nlme)
give the output back to console
>sink()

Hope this helps.
