[R] plot to postscript orientation-update

[John Kane]

Follow-up 

I seem to have manged to get the eps file to work
using:
 
postscript("C:/temp/figure.eps", horizontal=F,
paper="special", height=8, width=8, pointsize=12)

Exactly why I'm not sure since I just copied some old
code that I had used a year or so ago.
