[R-SIG-Mac] graph bugs using R on MAC

[bby2103 at columbia.edu]

Hi Kent,

Thanks for the tip.

This works, up to the same point where I can save pdf into Word using  
the menu.
In other words, as long as I don't use the Identify function, I can  
get the graph I need. But it can't be in an interactive mode which the  
Identify function needs to be in. So whatever labels I need to show on  
the graph will not be there.

Bonnie
