You probably want to use cat and print for these lines. These things won't
print when not run at the top level, so if you want them to print, you must
specify that.

Andrew,

I modified the file to this:
sink('data-summaries.txt')
cat ('corvalis discharge summary\n')
print(cat)
summary(cor_disc)
sd(cor_disc$cfs)
cat ('-----------------\n')
print(cat)
sink()

and ran it from the R command line:
sink('data-summaries.txt')
cat ('corvalis discharge summary\n')
print(cat)
summary(cor_disc)
sd(cor_disc$cfs)
cat ('-----------------\n')
print(cat)
sink()


with this output:
corvalis discharge summary
function (..., file = "", sep = " ", fill = FALSE, labels = NULL,
append = FALSE) {
    if (is.character(file))
        if (file == "")
            file <- stdout()
        else if (startsWith(file, "|")) {
            file <- pipe(substring(file, 2L), "w")
            on.exit(close(file))
        }
        else {
            file <- file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w"))
            on.exit(close(file))
        }
    .Internal(cat(list(...), file, sep, fill, labels, append))
}

Much closer, but still not quite right. How should I modify this?

Thanks,
