Dears Gunter an Ripley,

Ok, it is clear now! So, this topic can be closed.

The problem was that the '.SavedPlots' object is generated in the user
workspace only after a second plot
inside a graphic device and it is visible only with ls(all.names=T).

PS: obviously, this consumes memory.

Many thanks,
