Thanks for that Tony,

The command line works fine, just as you point out. I was using the 
menu bar on the graph which looks the same as the RGui even though I 
always use ESS. I guess the simple answer is don't use the Rgui 
facilities when you are running R under ESS. Simple enough.

Cheers

Sam

I think this is an R bug.  But to verify, check that you actually have
the problem when running Rterm.exe outside of ESS?  (as the followup
mail I wrote, correcting my mistakes, suggested)?

It also might be a windows problem. with win 95b, 
gnu-emacs 20.7.1 and ess 5.1.16 the menu-bar
pdf-file works fast and reliable (perhaps a memory problem?).

This sounds like an R problem, not an ESS problem -- what commands are you
using from the command-line to make it work?

Please provide an example (are you doing something like:
        pdf("filename")
        plot(x,y)
        dev.off()
