'man patch' tells you all you need to know (and more). You need to have the latest version of the file via svn (see the FAQ): careful saving of the display such as https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/graphics/man/screen.Rd will do equally well. > > Thanks, > Doug > > > > > On Tue, 18 Jul 2006, Prof Brian Ripley wrote: > > > Patch, please .... > > > > On Tue, 18 Jul 2006, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > > Full_Name: Doug Grove > > > Version: 2.3.1 patched (2006-07-03 r38485) > > > OS: Windows > > > Submission from: (NULL) (24.19.37.159) > > > > > > > > > A msg. to R-help prompted me to read the help page for > > > split.screen/screen, > > > etc. > > > I understand what the function is for, but could not find information that > > > described how the argument 'n' in screen/erase.screen/close.screen is > > > mapped to > > > the regions on the device.
