Thanks much. It sounds like this is a lot of work just to make
RCommander look a little nicer. You're right, I meant TclTk 8.5.
Aqua TclTk 8.4 had problems.
Is building R from source 'a lot of work'? If you think so, I wonder
what you would call the amount of work the developers do to bring you
R ... and how you have shown your appreciation for that work.
On a Mac the Aqua Tcl/Tk 8.5 is a lot nicer (it was 8.5 that got the
ttk widget set), but it is pretty much incompatible with R.app.
(The X11 widgets on my Mac look much uglier than on my Linux desktop,
for example.)

Does anyone know if it is possible to run Rcmdr in Aqua TclTk (e.g.,

since I don't subscribe to the list?
Well, there is no 'TclTk 8.6' yet (it's a beta), but 8.5.9 worked last
time I tried. However, you will have to build R to use it, and use
(command-line) R and not R.app (the GUI).
Thanks much
