Thanks.  Now I can't find a way to start R at all outside of 
RStudio after uninstalling and reinstalling.


       What do you suggest I try next?


       Thanks,

p.s.  To be precise, I ran the following as described in "4.2 
Uninstalling under OS X" in "R Installation and Administration":


             ..$ sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/R.framework
             ..$ sudo rm -rf /Applications/R.app
             ..$ sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/R
             ..$ sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/Rscript


       Then I double-clicked on "R-3.2.2.pkg" in Downloads.  R seemed to 
install, and R 3.2.2 started as expected under RStudio, but I couldn't 
find stand-alone R icons.  So I upgraded to 10.10.5 and double-clicked 
again on "R-3.2.2.pkg".  That didn't help.  FYI, from within RStudio, I 
get the following:
