[R] Issues with tcltk for Tiger Mac OSX

[John Fox]

Dear Bernard,

The Rcmdr web site has some instructions prepared by Rob Goedman for Mac
users at
<http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/installation-notes.html>
that might prove useful. (I'm not a Mac user myself so can't offer specific
advice.)

I hope this helps,
 John
