In R-devel I am getting an error with col=0 in a call to box, buried somewhere in some tests. I have not yet explored far enough to know why col=0 is being set, but I think it has to do with the box outline being invisible. col=0 does not seem to be allowed in R-devel, whereas the code works in R-1.3.1. This may be R-devel pointing out an error in my code that was not caught by R-1.3.1 or previously, or it may be a feature change (although I did not see it in the documentation), or it may be an error in R-devel. If anyone immediately recognizes the problem/change I would appreciate tips. Otherwise I will check further when I have a chance.

col=0 is background AFAIK, and the default for background has been changed to be "transparent" for most devices. That *is* in NEWS. So plotting with col=0 under that default makes no sense, although I believe it still works. The example for box does with col=0 ....
