_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n_:

     Diverts all R output to `file', overwriting the file
     unless `append' is `TRUE'.

_U_s_a_g_e_:

     sink(file = NULL, append = FALSE)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s_:

    file: a character string naming the file to write to, or
          `NULL' to stop ``sink''ing.

  append: if `TRUE', output will be appended to `file'; oth-
          erwise, it will overwrite the contents of `file'.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s_:

     Only prompts and error messages continue to appear on
     the terminal.

     `sink()' or `sink(file=NULL)' ends the diversion.

     sink("sink-examp.txt")
     i <- 1:10
     outer(i,i,"*")
     sink()
