[R] Test for new page: thanks

[Aleksey Naumov]

Thank you Paul, Marc, and Ray for helping. Alas: there seems to be no way to 
test for a new page. In my simple case it is no big problem since I can just 
count the number of plots made on the page so far.

Ray: yes I could probably write the header after every plot, effectively 
writing on top of old header (which in my case has both text and a legend). I 
was just looking for a neater way...

Thank you all!
Aleksey

put the same header on each page
