R help - Dec 1999 - Problems with X11 - device

I started the graphics device with X11(). When I tried to plot a tree object
with
> plot (tree) 
It gives me the error message:

Error in plot.window(xlim, ylim, log, asp, ...) : invalid xlim

I was looking in the manual under "plot", "plot.window",
etc. but I didn't
really get the resolution of my problem.....
What's the problem?
 
I'm runnig R on a SuSE 6.0 System.

When I ran the same thing under the R for Windows, it plotted just fine... Is
thre a special problem with the X11 device?

Another thing: the html-help doesn't work (on my Linux again): when I run
help.start(), it starts netscape, but it doesn't find the file
"index.html".
The start page with the links to "Search, packages, functions" etc.
doesn't
exist in ~/.R/doc.. and also in /usr/local/lib/R... there is no
"index.html"

Ahem. Version numbers are important!

If it's R 0.90.0 the fonts are a bit large... does it help if you start
the plotwindow with an explicit x11(pointsize=10)?
