So plot.lm() sets 'ask=F' if, eg, par(mfcol=c(2,1)) so that the first 2
plots cannot be really visualized. Here is a proposed modification for this
function:
$ diff plot.lm.R plot.lm.new.R
7c7
< ask = interactive() && one.fig && length(which)
> 1
---> ask = interactive() && nb.fig < length(which)
52a53> nb.fig <- prod(par("mfcol"))
The modification for termplot() follows in the same way:
$ diff termplot.R termplot.new.R
3a4,5> ask = interactive() && nb.fig < n.tms
> && .Device != "postscript",
46a49,55> nb.fig <- prod(par("mfcol"))

I have tested both with R-1.1.1 under WinNT and Solaris2.7, and they seem
to work OK. The corresponding modifications for the .Rd files are:
$ diff plot.lm.Rd plot.lm.new.Rd
11c11
< ask = interactive() && one.fig && length(which)
> 1
---> ask = interactive() && one.fig && nb.fig <
length(which)
$ bdiff termplot.Rd termplot.new.Rd

length(which)
