That does not save the current plot though, and dev.copy() and 
dev.print() can do so.  They _are_ in the manual Dirk pointed you at.

Windows versions of R have other options, e.g. savePlot() and menu items 
to save the plot, and my guess is that is what 
'Augusto.Sanabria at ga.gov.au' has seen.

I don't see what this has to do with this list rather than R-help, though.

Those `options' are from your X11 Window Manager, not from R.
