[R] how to control to save plots to which dev

[zhenjiang xu]

Thanks, Prof Ripley. I was using dev.next(), dev.prev(),, but I am
wondering, instead of switching the current dev, is there a way to
more directly print plot A into file connection A, plot B into file
connection B...? Because if coding with more then two dev
simultaniously, one could easily get confused which dev is the current
one.
