R help - Mar 1998 - R-beta: dev.copy()

Sorry for so many postings lately.

Using .62, when I tried to use save.plot(), I found it didn't work any
more, and that I was supposed to use dev.copy() instead. But it doesn't
work the same way as save.plot did:
dev.copy("filename.ps")
doesn't work. It doesn't have any help, and I couldn't figure out
how to
make it work by looking at its definition. (I tried stuff like device=x11
or device=2)

Thanks for any help!

Bill,
 thank you for all the good questions on R.
They *are* helpful for improvement of code and/or documentation
and useful to other R users.

Just one note however:

  Questions on "snapshot code" (i.e., currently R 0.62)
  which do not apply to the released code (R 0.61.x currently)

  *really* should NOT go to R-help at all.
  Using snapshot code is meant for users who are considering themselves
  ``fit for R-devel''.
  Actually, some of these questions should probably only go to R-core.
  In your case, the documentation for the "dev.xxx" functions has been
on
  our todo list for a while..
	

Best (and yes, keep these messages coming!),
