frame() does not start a new plotting window on R under Windows

I am trying to create a series of plots like this: I save a code (with a following structure) to a .R-file:

plot(...)
while (...)  {
 points(..)
}
frame()
barplot(..)
frame()
barplot()

and run it via "source path/to/file.R"

But somehow after all the commands are run, I have only one graphic window ("R Graphic Device 2 ACTIVE") which shows only the last barplot

I am using R 2.3 x86 under Windows 10

What am I doing wrong?

You should replace each call to frame() with either dev.new() or x11(). For other options, try using RStudio or call layout().

More detail: frame() is simply an alias to plot.new() and will result in the completion of the current plotting window (if there is one) and advance to a new graphics frame. dev.new() and x11(), on the other hand, will open a new graphics device.
