[R] write table and dinnames

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

>From ?write.table

     Normally there is no column name for a column of row names.  If
     `col.names=NA' a blank column name is added.  This can be used to
     write CSV files for input to spreadsheets.

See also the `R Data Import/Export Manual', as it is in in there too.

I believe rather you want a blank column before the TAB which separates
columns.
