\description{
  Saves the current plot on a \code{windows} device to a file.
}
\details{
  This is equivalent to selecting the \sQuote{Save as} menu item on the
  \sQuote{File} menu of a \code{\link{windows}} device.

  Using \code{filename} as \code{"clipboard"} or \code{""} with
  \code{type = "wmf"} will copy to the clipboard.

  Types \code{"eps"} and \code{"ps"} are the same thing apart from the
  extension.  Similarly \code{"wmf"}/\code{"emf"} and
  \code{"jpeg"}/\code{"jpg"}.
}
\value{
  None, but a plot file will be created.
}
