write.foreign should also work, though.
My guess is that Kate used tempfile() to specify the filenames, and that the
data file would then have been deleted on leaving R. This is only a guess, of
course.
The syntax for write.dta is
write.dta(the.data.set, file="dataset.dta")
and for write.foreign is
write.foreign(the.data.set,codefile="dataset.do", datafile="dataset.raw",
package="Stata")
