Thanks for the answer from Uwe Ligges and Duncan Murdoch !

if any function could do the opposite action of bringToTop()?

What is the opposite?  There isn't such a thing defined in the Windows
API.  If you want to do anything in the API, then just grab the handle,
and try it.

Are there any introductory and detailed "tcltk" documents or help
files or books for using this package in R ?

The tcltk documentation is (in Windows) available in R_HOME/Tcl/doc.  If
you want something like a tutorial, you'll need to look on the web or in
a library or bookstore.

Hello,

I use "select.list" to obtain a window of select items, but how can I
set the position and size of this window?

Are there any functions which are used to maximize and minimize the
window of R Console?

You cannot fo windows from select.list and R console, AFAIK, but you can
do for windows() devices using windows() and brintToTop(), for example.

That's a typo:  it's bringToTop().  Another function which could be used
to do this is getWindowsHandle, along with C level programming to the
Windows API.  I haven't looked into this, so it's possible the UI
library we use will get confused, but it should be possible to send
Windows messages to those handles.

We do have longstanding bugs with the maximized/minimized status being
overridden by various reset commands.  I tracked down some of these
once, but didn't get all of them (and did introduce some new bugs).  I
don't have the energy to fix the rest.
