That does not save the current plot though, and dev.copy() and dev.print() can do so. They _are_ in the manual Dirk pointed you at.
Windows versions of R have other options, e.g. savePlot() and menu items to save the plot, and my guess is that is what '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' has seen. I don't see what this has to do with this list rather than R-help, though.
