?! Do you mean the output generated by the M.A.S. software ?
If yes, one can import the table (eventually after cutting header/bottom
of the generated document) the 'regular' way in R... but then you are
beyond the juridiction of package (i.e. the job was done by MAS).

Others goodies of Bioconductor (annotate, AnnBuilder, and many others...)
might be what you want instead...

I do not have access to manufacturer's doc at the moment. Could you remind
