[R] dvips function gives "Documents not found" error

[David Kelly]

This is primarily an FYI to the Hmisc author, though any brilliant 
suggestions from him or anyone else are always welcome.  Re this problem 
reported earlier in this thread:

   getting an error from Hmisc when trying
   dvips(latex(describe(mtcars)),file="/kellytest/kelly.ps")
   that says
   Error in system(cmd, intern = intern, wait = wait | intern,
   show.output.on.console = wait,  :
	C:/Documents not found
   which appears to be a path-parsing problem of "Documents and Settings"

The problem is still present. I've tried every suggestion that was sent 
to me. Most recently, I created a .Renviron which said
TMP=c:/kellytest/rtemp
and I then ran R (from within emacs/ess).

I verified that TMP had been set correctly as follows:
 > tempdir()
[1] "c:/kellytest/rtemp\\Rtmp5417"

but I still got the C:/Documents not found error.

P.S. I found that a TeX file was created when the command was executed, 
but I could find no evidence of a dvi or ps file.
