Macintosh plots

This may be a dumb question, but I've wasted several hours trying to 
find an answer....

When I do a plot with no parameters set eg: ' >plot(d1)' it comes up 
with a dark gray background and blue data points.  I can modify the 
data points using '>plot(d1, col = "red")', but I have not been able to 
modify the background color.  '>plot(d1, bg = "white")' does not work.  
Any help would be most appreciated.

Cheers,
Ian.

What is d1?  The plot function itself is generic and does not 
necessarily do anything.  It might be that the d1 object is of a 
particular class and the plot method for that class changes the 
background, point color, etc.  You could try

par(bg = "transparent")

but it's possible that the plot method might just reset it.
