Thanks, Prof Ripley. I was using dev.next(), dev.prev(),, but I am wondering, instead of switching the current dev, is there a way to more directly print plot A into file connection A, plot B into file connection B...? Because if coding with more then two dev simultaniously, one could easily get confused which dev is the current one.
