[R] randomForest help

What software are you using, exactly?  I'm the maintainer of the
randomForest package, yet I do not know which "manual" you are quoting.

If you are using the randomForest package, the model object can be saved
to a file by save(Rfobject, file="myRFobject.rda").  If you need that to
be in ascii, use ascii=TRUE in save().  You can get it back into R by
using load() or attach().

To "run data down the model", use predict(Rfobject, datatopredict) (see
?predict.randomForest).

What exactly do you want to print to a csv file, the prediction?  See
?write or ?write.table.
