[R] printing graphics window on Mac OS 9.2

[Roger Peng]

I generally either copy and paste the graphics window into another program
(like MS Word or Appleworks) or simply export the graphic to Postscript
and drag and drop the file onto the printer icon (assuming you have a
Postscript printer).  This might be your safest bet.
