Subject: [R] Postscript Legends (or not)

I discovered a little problem when using the Windows NT release of R
1.0.1, and it's still there in R 1.1.0.

The boiled down version is this: I want to draw the following plot and
put it into a Postscript file:

x <- c(1,2,3,4); y1 <- c(1,2,3,4); y2 <- c(2,2,2,2)
Fred <- c(1,2)

postscript(file="d:/Bob/Papers/IFM/try2.ps")
plot(x,y1, type="l")
lines(x,y2,lty="33")
legend(1,4, c("y1","y2"), lty=Fred)
graphics.off()

This works fine. However, if I use Fred <- c(1,"33"), I get an error
when trying to view hte file (using either Ghostscript or CorelDraw).
GhostScript gives me the message that I've included below.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Oh yes, this is the GS message:

I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when you
looked at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated.  -
