[R] \Sweaveopts error

Actually, I had until I created this file had everything on one line,
or had separate \SweaveOpts commands.

Putting everything on one line ensures that the graphics file
goes to the subdirectory snArt, but the file test1.tex is unchanged.

Note however the difference between the files test1.tex and
test.tex, irrespective of the 1 line or 2 issue.  The first of the
\SweaveOpts lines had an effect, unless I am missing something.

John.
