What about

        > x <- 1:2
        > a <- list(c(4,5),c(8,9,10)) # Which is the way you *should*
                                      # have constructed a!
        > ddd <- data.frame(x=x,a=I(unlist(lapply(a,paste,collapse=","))))
        > write.table(ddd,file="ddd.out",quote=FALSE,row.names=FALSE)

                        cheers,

                                Rolf Turner
