Dear Bernhard, Peter, and Brian,
Thanks, Peter, for the suggestion. If you're right then the problem is with tcltk more generally and not directly with the Rcmdr package.
Brian: That's easily checked and might clarify what's going on: Load the tcltk package via library(tcltk), and then try the following example from ?TkWidgetcmds:
------------ snip --------------
tt <- tktoplevel()
tkpack(txt.w <- tktext(tt))
tkinsert(txt.w, "0.0", "plot(1:10)")
eval.txt <- function()
eval(parse(text = tclvalue(tkget(txt.w, "0.0", "end"))))
tkpack(but.w <- tkbutton(tt, text = "Submit", command = eval.txt))
## Try pressing the button, edit the text and when finished:
tkdestroy(tt)
------------ snip --------------
Best,
John
