Thank you, but when I tried that, I got:

  Error in graphics::par(bg = "white") : couldn't find function "X11"

However, executing an explicit "library(graphics)" seems to do the trick.
Your hint about the graphics package was what gave me the clue to try this;
thank you.

You are obviously much better at deducing information than I am. I had read
that quite carefully before posting my question -- and I just went back and
re-read it to see what I had missed, and I can't see anything that even
hints at any of this :-(
