[R] R grahics: Save as hangs computer

[karl.sommer at dpi.vic.gov.au]

Hello list,

I have encountered a problem trying to save graphs using the R-graphics
menu:  File|Save as.  The menu suggests that files may be saved as either
Metafile, Postscript, pdf, png, bmp, jpeg.
When I specify any of those file formats a menu comes up requesting a file
name.  After providing a name R invariably hangs and has to be restarted.

I am able to save files under the various formats using the command line
without problems.  However, sometimes it would be convenient to use the
menus.

I was wondering if anyone else had encountered a similar behaviour and had
found a remedy.

I am running are under GNU-Emacs ESS 5.3.3.
