     My TypingErr:  ^50 is correct !
     It occured in just the first part of 'demo(graphics)'.

  Yes!! After moving .RData away to .old.RData the error vanished !
  And yes, the .RData contained '... .Random.seed ... (seen by 'mc').
  But no, it dated '3 Feb ...', thus worked with R 1.2.1. and not
  about 0.63 .

  Many thanks for your very prompt answers at sunday evening !!
