write.cross(cross, format=c("csv","mm"), filestem="data", chr, digits=5)

`cross`	An object of class `cross`. See `read.cross` for details.
`format`	Specifies whether to write the data in comma-delimited or Mapmaker format.
`filestem`	A character string giving the first part of the output file names (the bit before the dot).
`chr`	A vector specifying for which chromosomes data should be written.
