The reason I noticed this is that I do not know how the screens are numbered.
Well, the S documentation also does not say, so it is regarded as obvious. AFAIK sequentially from the last used number, either in the order of the rows of 'figs' or row-major order on the grid.
And for future reference, is there a source that documents how to create a patch for documentation or source code? I have never made a patch but I would like to be able to do this in the future.
'man patch' tells you all you need to know (and more). You need to have the latest version of the file via svn (see the FAQ): careful saving of the display such as https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/graphics/man/screen.Rd will do equally well.

Full_Name: Doug Grove Version: 2.3.1 patched (2006-07-03 r38485) OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (24.19.37.159) A msg. to R-help prompted me to read the help page for split.screen/screen, etc. I understand what the function is for, but could not find information that described how the argument 'n' in screen/erase.screen/close.screen is mapped to the regions on the device. All we are told is e.g. screen(1) prepares the first region for plotting - but which region is region 1?? Obviously this can be figured out by playing around with the function, but a description of how the regions are numbered would make a nice addition. Thanks! Doug
