creating models from "Objects" in R's environment

Hi I'm trying to create Tree based models in R using the downloadable package called "tree". It is mentioned in the R documentation that Objects are created and stored in the R environment by name. So I have saved all the objects formed during the creation of a tree model using the R command: dump(objects(),"Z:\\Project\\Exammples\\Output\\outputTree.txt");

Here's a snapshot of the output file outputTree.txt:
After creating the models, one needs to analyse them with some new data. Hence, I am now trying to analyze this model with a new set of data. Is it possible in R to recreate the models by reading from the "Object" output file.
Eveything is possible in R: you can program a Turing machine in it but you might need unlimited memory.
ie By reading from the above displayed file, can we recreate the tree model ??
Yes, but to fit the *formula* to a new dataset (hence a *new* model) you will need to use update. I suggest you use save() not dump() to store objects.
