Kurt,
  here's what S does (I recall going to some effort to duplicate the,
at times, seemingly unusual behaviour of cat)
S-PLUS : Copyright (c) 1988, 1996 MathSoft, Inc.

Version 3.4 Release 1 for Sun SPARC, SunOS 4.1.3_U1 : 1996 
Working data will be in /users/rdev/rgentlem/.Data

[1] 1  2  3  NA

[1] "1"  "2"  "3"  "NA"

1&2&3&4> cat(x, sep = "&\n")
1&
2&
3&
4

so, the behaviour of cat is the same (whether it's correct or not .....)

Yes, I noticed that too.  Perhaps R could add an argument which toggles
this behavior?  (Or is there an easy other way to get what I want?)

Thanks,
