[R] Metafiiles into Word R 1.9.0

[Jesus Frias]

Hi again,

	Thanks a lot to Jason Turner for the hint to the FAQ-windows. savePlot()
seems to be in trouble with lattice objects as much as any other device,
which I did not know. I can generate now the metafiles:

> library(lattice)
> example(xyplot)
> win.metafile()
> print(dotplot(variety ~ yield | year * site, data = barley))
> dev.off()
windows
      2

	This gives an alternative solution to the problem I had with the drop-down
menu on the windows() device "Copy as metafile".

best regards,

Jesus
