Well, it's not documented to do so - it's really just pass-through

At least from the perspective to be consistent in writing a valid
file path I would vote to put this at the end of quartz()'s wish
list :)
The consistency is: those functions that do tilde expansion document
it. Those that do not document it should not be assumed to do so.
More to the point, quartz.save is hidden away in R.app and is
completely undocumented (at least, according to the help system),
and I did not know it existed.
That was partially on purpose ;) - it used to be an R.app-only goodie.
Since quartz() is usable from R (the terminal command line,
embedded ...) at the Mac console, could not quartz.save() be in
package utils and be documented?
I suppose so. The original implementation was R.app-specific, but
admittedly the current one works even outside so it's worth doing that
- I'll have a look.
Thanks,
Simon
