[R] pretty print of summary

Dear R-users,

using the interactive mode, the command
 > summary(my.survreg.object)
will output details of the object my.survreg.object in a very neat 
fashion.

I would like to have that sent to a file, in ascii format, as it 
appears within the interactive mode.
Is that possible ?

This seems like a very simple task, but i haven't found the solution:
- print doesn't care about a file option
- save(my.surreg.object,file="tmp",ascii=T) almost does it but puts 
every word on its own line,
so "tmp" contains a very long column of words.
- dump will output the structure of the object so it can be loaded back.
- write is suited for matrices of data, not arbitrary objects.
Something else i should look at ?

Thanks,
Chuck
