plotting only text as a table

Dear R-Gurus,

I am preparing a multiple-plot-sheet with 2rows and 2 columns, but there
are actually only 3 plots to plot.
the 4. part of my sheet should contain a table with simple statistic
values like n, mode, standard deviation....

I cannot handle to plot the information in the plot. the summary()
function prints it to the xtrem instead of the plot.

If you have some lines of text in variable foo you can get a reasonable
start on plotting it with

	plot.new()
	plot.window(xlim=c(0,1),ylim=c(0,1))
	text(0.5,0.5, paste(foo,collapse="\n"))

which will put it centered horizontally and vertically.  You will probably
then need to adjust things.

If you want the text to be the output of an R command and can't figure out
how to construct the text yourself you can capture it in a textConnection.
There is an example in help(textConnection).
