     This function writes a 'qpcrBatch' out to a tab-delimited text
     file.  'writeQpcr' can be used to write out the normalized qPCR
     data out  to an external file.

_U_s_a_g_e:

       writeQpcr(qBatch, fileName, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  qBatch: A 'qpcrBatch' object. 

fileName: Character string specifying name of the output file. 

     ...: Extra arguments to be passed to 'write.table'. 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Function creates a tab-delimited text file with three columns, 
       1st column = names denoting genes or primer pairs  2nd column =
     plate index 3rd column = normalized Ct value
