Hi Simon,
Thank you for your hack! I am using the Aquamacs (0.9.9d) of GNU
Emacs 22.0.50.1. I just tried the hack and I can use it, but I get
the following messages:
> quartz(height=6, width=6)
Warning message:
quartz() device interactivity reduced without an event loop manager
in: quartz(height = 6, width = 6)
> plot(rn)
CGGStackRestore: gstack underflow.

Nor can I copy-paste, or save directly from the quartz window.
identify works with Command-ESC to terminate.
Are these all expected behaviors?
Thanks,
Hank
