# From R Reference Card by Tom Short:
# 	Most of the I/O functions have a file argument. 
# 	This can often be a character string naming a file or a connection.
# 	file="" means the standard input or output. 
# 	Connections can include files, pipes, zipped files, and R variables.
# 	On windows, the file connection can also be used with description = "clipboard".

	write.table(x, "clipboard", sep="\t", col.names=NA)
