No, it's not a dataframe, but it's text output in a format that R likes.
<hansl>
open data4-10
store somedata.R
foreign language=R
somedata <- read.table("somedata.R", header=TRUE)
is.data.frame(somedata)

Well OK, but how about this then (".R" -> ".csv"):
<hansl>
open data4-10
store somedata.csv
foreign language=R
somedata <- read.table("somedata.csv", header=TRUE)
is.data.frame(somedata)
end foreign
</hansl>
Gives the same for me, so from that perspective the R option to the
"store" command (either via a .R extension or via "--gnu-R") looks
redundant.
thanks,
