I'm really not the expert here,
but John Fox' RCmdr relies on R's tcltk package,
and it's true that people can well install R on the Mac without
Tcl/Tk capabilities --- just seen a month ago in a course we taught.
For this reason, John has added instructions (based on help from
Rob Goedman) on how to install things on the Mac :

I think for Berton's question, the only necessary step is
JFox>>> 1) Install X11.app from Apple Install disks (this is a
JFox>>> must if you want to use any tcltk-based package with R.app).

I disagree a bit and hence reply to R-help.
