I'd like to ask a tangental question.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.11 on a G5 PPC, and I also build Emacs from
source.
GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0) of
2009-03-28 on spud.local
I've recently started experimenting with ESS version 5.3.11, which I'm
using in conjunction with R 2.9.0. About half of my time is spent in
R.app (console and/or built-in editor), and the other half is spent
with ESS.
One thing I miss with ESS is quartz.save(). From ESS, I can open a
quartz() device and plot to it, but quartz.save() gives the error
'could not find function "quartz.save"'. Here's an example:

dev.copy() works, though.

Is there a way to have quartz.save() work from within ESS?
