The good news, you don't have to shut down R. Several control-G in
the *R* buffer in emacs will recover control. A second attempt in the
same GUI graphics device did get the postscript file saved.
A workaround for this problem is to use the command line, rather than
the GUI menu, to save the file. This line
dev.copy2eps()
works.
I discovered that it is necessary to set
options(chmhelp=FALSE)
when running R from emacs as the chmhelp is also freezing R
and the help system. I am using R-2.4.1 on Windows.
Use
?dev.copy2eps
for details on the command line dev.* commands.
Follow-up should go to the ess-bugs mailing list.
