Hi Karthic,

You have things a little mixed around there-- use plotting commands after
you open an output device.  Like so:

  jpeg( "histogram.jpeg" )
  hist( rnorm(100) )

And when you're done, don't forget to call dev.off().  As you mentioned that
you are a beginner, I would strongly suggest flipping through the
"Introduction to R" manual.  A copy can be accessed online at:

  http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.html

Section 12 provides a good overview of graphics in R.

Good luck!
