The first time you use a graphics command, R automatically opens a 
graphics device (what sort of device you get is controlled by 
options(device=?)).  This device will open with default size settings. 
If you want to control the size of the device, you need to explicitly 
open the device first and specify the size you want (as in Richard's 
win.graph example).  par("din") can only be used to query the current 
size of a device;  it cannot be used to set/modify the size of a device.
