[R] too many open devices

[harold kincaid]

Many thanks for your answer. I am using someone else's code that has
worked fine for some time and don't know much about R graphics.
Windows are being opened, the clutter is definitely there, and it
looks like dev.off is not being used. So at least it probably is not a
stupid attack on my part. So your response was helpful. Thanks for
taking the time to respond. Harold
