plot in win.metafile in nlme

Hallo!

I want to plot grouped data in a wmf-file. The
following example gives an error:

library(lattice)
library(nlme)
data(Loblolly) # example data from nlme
win.metafile("Loblolly.wmf")
plot(Loblolly)
dev.off()
 
After the plot(Loblolly) the following error occurs:
"Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : variable
"win.metafile:Loblolly.wmf" was not found"
The file Loblolly.wmf exists but is just white.

With "normal" plot it works, e.g.:
win.metafile("Loblolly2.wmf")
plot(Loblolly$age, Loblolly$height)
dev.off()

Does anybody know how to solve the problem above or a
nice workaround?
(Using plotSave works in general but the colors are
bad.)

What is your version of R, nlme and lattice (and have you run 
update.packages() recently)?

This works correctly for me in the current versions.

Not needed, BTW, as done by nlme.

Karl Knoblick a ?crit :
library(nlme)
data(Loblolly) # example data from nlme
plot(Loblolly)
dev.copy(win.metafile, filename = "Loblolly.wmf")
dev.off()

works fine for me

Best,
