Two potentially useful informations will be printed: the R xtable()-related generated code (1) and the output LaTeX code (2). Essentially you have the following options. Use the R code in conjuction with LaTeX (or Lyx) and Sweave (that is, use the R code in Sweave code chunks as if it were a statistical analysis), or copy and paste the LaTeX code into a LaTeX (or LyX, via its ERT) document. Either way, if the LaTeX document compiles, you will have the corresponding analyses tables into the output .pdf. Note that the Export Plugin is limited to handling objects---basically, tables---printed within Rcmdr (that is, the Plugin will not handle objects printed in the R console). Thus, it is probably of help to those using Rcmdr to teach R to students, and to those familiarizing themselves with exporting R results to LaTeX (with R altogether). I cc-ed r-help to make these instructions publicly available. Please post back if you still have questions.
