You can do this with the Image 1.43m daily build, which adds open() and
saveAs() methods to the ResultsTable class. Here is a JavaScript
example that demonstrates how to use these new methods:

    if (IJ.getVersion()<"1.43m")
       IJ.error("Requires v1.43m or later");
    if (Analyzer.getCounter()==0)
       IJ.error("Results table is empty");
    rt = Analyzer.getResultsTable();
    rt.saveAs("");
    rt = ResultsTable.open("");
    rt.show("My Results Table");
