[R] plot to postscript orientation

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Do you have the Orientation menu set to 'Auto'?
The effect described seems that if 'Rotate media' is selected, which it 
should not be.

The files look fine to me in GSView 4.8 on Windows and other viewers on 
Linux.  I agree with Uwe that it is a viewer issue (most reported 
postscript/PDF are).
