Hi all

I am a long-time R user, who has just recently traded in my old linux box for a Mac. That is, I am reasonably familiar with R, but not (yet) with Macs.

I am having this problem when producing graphics with quartz() (but not x11()):

quartz()
hist(rnorm(100))

This problem has been reported before on the list, but has not (as far as I can see) been resolved.

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks as always.
