[R] dev.print in R 1.7.1

[Prof Brian Ripley]

I can't help you with 1.7.1: it is obselete.  But since you are apparently
using Windows, there are menus in 1.8.0 to do what you want, as well as
the command savePlot() (AFAIK there never was a function save.plot).

That should be device=png, not png(), as the help page says.

Try dev.list() and dev.off()?
