Dear R Gurus,

I'm seeing some strange behavior that I can't explain. I'm generating a figure 
for a paper and I like to save the script (no matter how simple) for future 
reference. My practice is to write the script and run it using the 'source()' 
function. What's weird is that the resultant figure is not readable by OS X 
10.7.0 (Lion). While trying to figure out what I did wrong, I discovered that 
typing the exact same code into the R prompt (running in Terminal) will produce 
the figure as I would expect it. The only idea I have is that something has 
changed in Lion that doesn't allow 'source()' to interpret it properly.

Any ideas? Here is the exact code I'm using:
   1 x<-read.delim("path/data.txt")
   2
   3 pdf("path/PaperFig-hist_of_perc_change-individ_samps-by_subtype.pdf")
   4 histogram(~Total.Change,data=x,xlab="Percent Change")
   5 dev.off()

I appreciate any help. I'm especially curious if there's a Lion user who could 
give this a try.

I don't have Lion, but it would be helpful to know what "not readable" means. If you try to open the file in Preview, what happens?
