`save' is a command in R, and it has a ascii argument.  So you could do
save.image("workspace.txt", ascii=TRUE) to save, and load("workspace.txt") 
to reload.

The underlying assumption seems to be that text format files are editable 
(by a human).  Lots of data formats are text files but have many rigid 
restrictions:  PDF is one example and R save formats are others.
