[R] R 2.7.2 missing something in the install packages menu functions...

[Prof Brian Ripley]

What OS, which 'menu'?  Is it my imagination or does the posting guide no 
lomger ask you for 'at a minimum' the output of sessionInfo() ?

Rgui (for Windows) has used dependencies=NA (sic, the default for 
install.packages) since late 2006.  And if you meant the MacOS R.app, that 
has a separate version number from R itself (and a separate mailing list, 
r-sig-mac).
