I believe it was me, who did not make myself understood: The question is after 
a graphics device (other than X11) has been created, how can you find out the 
corresponding filename? This is what we would need to do rkward in order to 
display that information. I could not find any such function (par () does not 
seem to contain this info), but suspect there should be one. That's why I was 
asking, whether you happen to know a solution.

Good point. This might be enough for a preliminary solution. I'll look into 
this.
