(1) Why do you set par(ask=TRUE) ***after each plot***???  It would
seem to me to make more sense to set it ***once*** before commencing the
sequence of plots.

(2) par(ask=TRUE) appears to work just fine for me on MacOS:

	par(ask=TRUE)
	for(i in 1:3) plot(i:(10*i))

does exactly what I would expect.
