[R] R: graphics devices

[Berton Gunter]

I put the options() call into my Rprofile.site code (there are other ways to
do this, too) so that it's automatic at startup. ?Startup documents other
ways you can do this. I've never run into problems having recording always
"on", but maybe there are some I'm unaware of.
