Most probably that will not work - interactive and batch-like modes were 
mixed ...

You'll have to decide whether you want/need to select coordinates 
interactively using locator() or not. If you do not need locator() and 
can provide the coordinates to abline() or other functions, use pdf(), 
jpeg() and png() as suggested above.

If you do need locator() and you are using a GUI for R (or a stabdard 
Windows interface for R - you didn't specify your OS), you can still 
select 'File -> Save as' in the main menu and save you plot manually.
