Simon,
Robert is referring (I suspect) to those wonderful hints at the
bottom of the console window that tell what the function parameters
are.
Yes, hints work fine on most of my machines, but do not on an iMac
running OS 10.5.8 that I recently installed in my lab. (I am at home
and can not do a sessionInfo on my lab machine right now.)
For me, the hints line flashes when R is first loading and then is
never to be seen again.
This happens on the iMac for 2.13.0 as well as 2.14.0 and with RGui
1.40 and 1.41 (this is from memory).

Can you, please, be more specific as of what you expect to see and
what you don't see? The hints work just fine for me. Also note that
the preference setting applies to the editor, not the console (which
shows hints at all times unless R is busy).
Cheers,
Simon

I downloaded R version 2.13.0 (2011-04-13). I am using

I do not get a function hint at the bottom of the console. I looked at
the preferences and see that function hint is checked. Hope this can be
fixed. Thanks.
