I believe the version in the recently distributed 0.50 alpha-1 works,
but as Doug Bates observes, using postscript is a better way to go.
You can either use the postscript driver to produce a file containing a
single plot or use the command
save.plot("filename")
to capture an on-screen plot in a file with the given name.
In either case you should get conforming encapsulated postscript which
you can incude in a TeX document.
I've been using LyX to prepare documents for my class and it provides
a very simple mechanism for including plots made this way.
