Record plot which stores a plot to an internal R data structure and Replay Plot which replays the plot enables one to keep plots around and use them accross sessions at least until version 3. If you cannot restore old plots and treat them as data and save accross sessions, there is little reason for recordPlot. Either R needs to dispense with internal formats entirelly, a bad move in my opinion or revise the structure so that it can be read from a file and then replayed and augmented. This internal facility, in some ways equivalent to the matlab fig is good to have around. It would not be needed if one of the data formats already stored i.e. pdf ... etc. could be read in and used then as internal plot. Your thoughts --mike
