I am experiencing the same problem/flaw in the GUI for R 2.3.0 that a few other people have posted concern about.

Ok, I'll check that one - we need a more clean solution for external files, so it may be worth changing a bit more.
As an aside - For those having similar problems, I recommend using R in the terminal with library(tcltk). One note though, apparently something has changed in the implementation of X11R6 on MacOSX 10.4. I used to have my display variable set in my bash .profile as: export DISPLAY=0:0
This is wrong and it was pure luck that it worked. The format is [<host>]:<display>[.<screen>] so you're asking for host "0" which is invalid.
Apparently the correct setting is now: export DISPLAY=:0.0
Yes and always was. Cheers, Simon
