[R] tkclipboard.append(...) and TCL_LIBRARY not set

[graham lawrence]

Dear R-Help,

Searching for a function that will copy the value of an R object to the 
windows clipboard led me to "tkclipboard.append(...)".

Will this function do what I seek? Or if not, does anyone know of such an R 
function?

If tkclipboard.append(...) is what I need, please explain how I can set 
TCL_LIBRARY.  With R 1.6 on W98 I got the following R dialog.  (If it is 
relevant, the DESCRIPTION file does contain a Built line).

Thanking you in advance,

graham lawrence
