Documentation of the dev.copy2eps function. (PR#10656)

Version: R version 2.4.0 Patched (2006-11-25 r39997)

which is over a year old: we are at 2.6.2 RC

OS: debian (stable/testing)

The documentation of the dev.copy2eps() function should mention the "file"
option which set the output file name

Current R says

      ...: Arguments to the 'device' function above. For 'dev.print',
           this includes 'which' and by default any 'postscript'
           arguments.

      For 'dev.copy2eps', 'width' and 'height' are taken from the
      current device unless otherwise specified.  If just one of 'width'
      and 'height' is specified, the other is adjusted to preserve the
      aspect ratio of the device being copied.  The default file name is
      'Rplot.eps'.

I'm not sure why 'file' is more important than any other argument 
mentioned in ..., but we do say what the default is (because it is 
different).  Can you tell us what more we 'should' say in your opinion, 
and why?

Thanks for the wonderfull software.

Cl?ment.
