Dear Rich, Unless there's been some change, there is a potential issue using tcltk because of Mavericks's more aggressive power-saving, which may cause your Mac to go into "nap" mode when the R.app window isn't visible. There are a couple of ways to get around this problem -- see the Rcmdr installation notes for Mac OS X at <http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/installation-notes.html> -- and it shouldn't prevent you from using Mavericks.
I hope this helps, John > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:r-sig-mac-bounces@r- > project.org] On Behalf Of Richard M.
