One way to work-around is to run plot commands from within playwith().
(It is also possible to set playwith as a plotting device via
autoplay(TRUE), but there seems to be no history between sessions;
this might be a reasonable feature request.)
A quick follow-up on this. I went ahead and filed the request and the
author has fixed this. Now playwith() features wihthin session,
bash-like history management [1]. It also works fine with autoplay(T).
This means that one can readily have a "Graphics history" in UNIX.

Thanks for caring. With this last fix playwith() could be an optimal substitution of the Windows "register" graphics tool.
Unfortunately the practical side is quite hard and, up now, unsuccessful.
It takes hours to understand that 'pkg-config' is a system library, not an R-package, that installed GTK components are insufficient, you have to guess which one of the 33 to-be-installed libgtk2 libraries are required and then finally compilation an linkage start progressing when you discover that 'cairoDevice()', this time an R component (??), has to be installed by its self but ... here I am stuck, see error below: two members of DevDesc appear as missing!!
Do you have any suggestion on how to proceed?
Tanks again, Roberto
