R help - May 2008 - Full screen graphics (windows)

For a simple perception test procedure (to generate live statistical data in a
lecture) I want to have a full screen graphics display under Windows. No
borders, frames, menus, just plain black or white.

Any ideas?

It should be possible to write a function which copies the current  
plot into a PDF file by using 'dev.copy2pdf'. Then run a system()  
command which opens that PDF file and switches to the full screen mode.

This leads to a, maybe marginal, request. I know that one can write a  
tag into a PDF file which controls whether the PDF should be opened  
in full screen mode automatically or not. Maybe it's worth to  
implement such an option in R?
