[R] Copying from graphics window in OS X

[Chris Wiita]

I hope there is a way...at the moment an os X screen grab is the only 
way to get a quick copy. When I ran Cygwin on a PC, copying from graphic 
windows was as easy as ctrl+c--so it doesn't sound like an X11 
limitation.  I'd like to know what Cygwin was doing in the background...
