I have difficulties with the R-GUI or the R Quartz Window, At one time it was easy to copy to the clipboard and then paste into another document, e.g. Microsoft Word or GraphicConverter or ... No more. There is a "Copy" item available (in dark letters, not greyed) in the Edit menu, but nothing goes into clipboard. I can verify this with several applications that have a "Show Clipboard" menu item. This was great for recording results of exploratory sessions without a generating a large number of files.
I am running R 2.7.2 GUI 1.25 (5217) and have the same problem on both a 10.4.11 and a 10.5.5 Mac. (I have not gotten 5218 to work yet, at least by opening the download directly from the download-disk-image.) This functionality appears to be implied by the FAQ regarding the GUI and Quartz. In a previous version, the contents of the Quartz window would disappear (blank window) but the clipboard would contain the appropriate clipping. I can save the window and that is a pdf file. (Secondarily: Items saved by quartz.save do not seem to open correctly in Preview or Acrobat. I assume that one must close the Quartz device with dev.off() Maybe I just need an example of quartz.save in action.)
