Have you tried:
help(Devices) 
help(pdf)

What I do:

pdf(file="myplots.pdf")
plot(...)
dev.off()

Use Acrobat or gv to view the pdf files.  Postscript is also good, but
not as universally understood; I have many coleagues who work in very
standard Windows environments, where ghostscript is unknown.  PDF is a
very sensible choice for e-mailing graphs.
