?dput
?save


e.g.
setClass("track", representation(x="numeric", y="numeric"))
x <- new("track", x=1:4, y=5:8)

# save as binary
fn <- tempfile()
save(x, ascii=FALSE, file=fn)
rm(x)
load(fn)
x

# save as  ASCII
save(x, ascii=TRUE, file=fn)

# ASCII text representation from which to regenerate the data
dput(x, file=fn)
y <- dget(fn)
