************ Create the .Rnw file ******************
Choose a working directory, e.g., in my case "/Users/mk/Documents/"
In that directory create a file called "try.Rnw":
******
\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\title{Brief Article}
\author{The Author}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

Hello, Sweave!

<<plot, include = T, fig = T>>=
x <- 1:10
y <- x^2
plot(x, y)
@

\end{document}
******

************ Run Sweave() on the .Rnw file ******************
In R type
setwd('/Users/mk/Documents/')
Sweave('try.Rnw')

Now you will have "try.tex" in your directory together with two files  
"try-plot.pdf" and "try-plot.eps"

************ Compile the .tex file ******************
Open try.tex and compile it.

************ RTFM ******************

and perhaps

The learning curve is shallow, but repays patience.
