R help - Apr 2007 - Not showing dvi with Hmisc latex()

Hi,

I'm using latex() from Frank Harrell's Hmisc library to produce LaTeX 
files. By default, it calls xdvi and displays the dvi.

How can I make xdvi not show? I couldn't find a clue in the extensive 
documentation.

Thanks,
Gad


ps: Hmisc 3.3-1 on R 2.5.0 for Linux.

Unclass the result so it doesn't print as a latex object.  For example,

 > unclass(latex("1", file="test.tex"))
$file
[1] "test.tex"

$style
character(0)

Alternatively, if you just assign the result you can print it later. 
It's when you print that the latex'ing happens.
