R help - Mar 2005 - initialising trellis device {lattice}/ postscript

Background:
OS: Linux Mandrake 10.1
release: R 2.0.0
editor: GNU Emacs 21.3.2
front-end: ESS 5.2.3
---------------------------------

Colleagues

I am using:
trellis.device(postscript, file="../figures/name.ps")
.....code to generate the trellis display here ....
graphics.off()

to create a postscript from a working xyplot display.

The problem is that the postscript file appears to be blank

I haven't done anything fancy to modify the defaults. Does anyone have a
suggestion as to what might be wrong?

Thanks

Sam

Works for me with a recent version of R and lattice given ".....code to 
generate the trellis display here ...." is correct and gets printed. 
Please specify a reproducible example as the posting guide asks you to do.
