Below an example of how I use jpeg. Make sure you start X11, either 
from R Console toolbar,
from Finder or the dock (you can close the X11 command window but *not 
*X11 - i.e. notice
the little black triangle if X11 is in your dock):

jpeg(file="./Books/Good/l1lsat.jpg")
op <- par(mfrow=c(1, 2))	# 1 row, 2 plots in this example
hist(rnorm(100))
boxplot(rnorm(25) , horizontal=T)
par(op)	# reset to previous par() settings
dev.off()

Let me know if this works,
Rob
