[R] a question about "latex" in Hmisc

[Shi, Tao]

The .dvi file is being created in the working directory for sure, not sure whether it's in the tmp folder or not.  (I just tested on my home machine which only has R but no MikTex installed, I can see only .tex file in the tmp folder.  No .log file in the tmp folder.)
