problem with tcltk under Windows (was [Rd] RE: [R] one more Rcmdrproblem)
This is known and we believe already fixed, so please try a beta of 2.0.1, from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rpatched.html [BTW, the header is wrong, this is R-2.0.1 beta, not patch.] Or just don't use Ctrl-C ....

Dear all, I'd like to use Rcmdr for teaching purposes but still have problems trying to use it under Windows XP. Everything works fine up to several minutes but then Rcmdr and R completely crash the second I hit a button or key. This indeed looks like a problem with tcltk. It is not any particular button or key that causes the crash, but using Ctrl+C to copy something to the clipboard seem the most 'reliable' cause. I tried this on 4 different PCs all under Windows XP (home or prof.), SP1. I did download and reinstall R 2.0.0, RCmdr and required packages on Nov. 1, 2004, but that didn't help either. Are there any new insights into these problems? Best regards, Thomas
