Many thanks for your answer. I am using someone else's code that has worked fine for some time and don't know much about R graphics. Windows are being opened, the clutter is definitely there, and it looks like dev.off is not being used. So at least it probably is not a stupid attack on my part. So your response was helpful. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Harold
