Oops; clearly I didn't understand the question. I thought Loren needed
creation date on files in a directory. Thanks for clearing it up Simon.

Hi Loren,
Try the following. You need to have XCode developer tools installed. Assumes
that you working directory is where the files of interest are. Otherwise add a
path to the ls command.
files <- system("ls",intern=T)
date <- vector(mode="character",length=length(files))
names(date) <- files
for (f in files) {
date[f] <- system(paste("/Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo -d
'",f,"'",sep=""), intern=T)
}

There is no file *within* the workspace. The workspace *is* one file
of serialized R objects and they themselves don't have any timestamp
associated with them. So all you can find out is when you last saved
(or accessed) the workspace, that's all.
Cheers,
