In your shoes, I might suspect that I changed default settings for
graphical parameters.  They are very easy to check and change.

The first two I would check are "mfrow" and "plt."

If you want just one plot on your output device, you should see this...

> par("mfrow")
[1] 1 1

... and values somewhat close to these:

> par("plt")
[1] 0.07819868 0.95994702 0.14866397 0.88048583

For a help file that lists and describes all of the graphical parameters:

> ?plt

Good luck!

Glen
