evaluating density objects

Is there a way to evaluate "density" objects other than with plot, so that I can write data points to a file and plot them with gnuplot? Can anyone help?
?density tells you
Value:
If `give.Rkern' is true, the number R(K), otherwise an object with
class `"density"' whose underlying structure is a list containing
the following components.
x: the `n' coordinates of the points where the density is
estimated.
y: the estimated density values.
...
so you could for example do
dens <- density(...)
write.table(data.frame(x=dens$x, y=dens$y), "somefile")
I have no idea why anyone would want to plot in gnuplot rather than in R,
and hence don't know what formats gnuplot accepts.
