The 'final model' returned by stepAIC is just a model fit, so you do this the same way as any fit. I'll assume you want to know for lm() fits, but this is fairly general.

library(MASS)
example(stepAIC)
formula(quine.stp)
attr(terms(quine.stp), "term.labels")

(You are making a habit of asking questions that your homework should have answered for you -- see ?stepAIC, the book it supports and the posting guide.)

  Initial Model:

  3 - x.Market.Price  1 858.2886      1069   853243.5 7266.200
  question:
  Now, $anova list the final model only on the console.  How do I retrieve the
  variable names of final model (to be written into a text file later)?
  Thanks.
