To save a matrix to a text file, se -svmat- to copy a matrix to a dataset 
in memory, and -outsheet- to write that dataset to a disk file. To load a 
matrix from a text file, use -insheet- to read from the text file into a 
dataset in memory, and -mkmat- to copy the dataset into a matrix. To find 
more about -insheet- and -outsheet-, see -[R] insheet- and -[R] outsheet-. 
To find more about -mkmat- and -svmat-, see the Programming manual under 
-[P] matrix mkmat-.

I hope this helps.
