I am used to using the [R] function choose.files() for interactive file selection in MS-Windows.
What is the comparable function in Linux? I expected the function file.choose() to display similar behavior, i.e., a graphical interface diplaying a file listing, but all I seem to get is a "text input prompt". This does not seem correct. > file.choose() Enter file name: I have seen gfile() function in the gWidgets library - but isn't there anything native? Thank you!
