There seems to be a problem with acf (in both R-2.0.1 and R-2.1.0beta) not passing par()$ask to the plot routine. I think the fix is that the argument to plot.acf should be changed from ask = Npgs > 1 && dev.interactive() to ask = par()$ask | Npgs > 1 && dev.interactive() Paul Gilbert [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
