Dear Brian and Rob, Pending another solution, I've modified the Rcmdr installation notes at <http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/installation-notes.html> to suggest that users of the Rcmdr under OS X 10.9 either run R from a terminal window or check the Prevent App Nap box in the R.app Get Info dialog. Please take a look at the notes and see whether they are sufficiently clear and correct.
