Hi Thomas,

okay, I didn't think of that but yes saving as R object is of course a good 
idea not to say better idea. This would solve the export question 
considerably.

What I have in mind is something as simple and convenient as possible and 
additionally people who have to collaborate with people from a "spread sheet 
world (EXCEL ...)" (which applies to me right now). For those two plugins in 
question it makes a lot of sense because they can crunch down huge amounts of 
data for screening purposes. Believe me it is really challenging to analyze 
such things with EXCEL but subsequent work (some sorting, plotting) is not. 
Currently I'm working with some people on another paper and the first (boring) 
step is to separate promising data from noise. Actually I can envision such an 
option (may it be as R object or whatever) in many more plugins. Hope you get 
what I mean.

But yes, let's go for the R object idea.

Regards
Stefan
