[R] Printing Lattice Graphs from Windows

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, Deepayan: 

      Following your suggestion, I tried the following in Rgui.exe: 

 > xyplot(1~1)
 > win.metafile()
 > graphics.off()

      I then switched to MS Word, pasted, and got the same blank plot as 
before.  (I actually tried other things as well, but came to this after 
reading the documentation.) 

      ???
