focus lost after install.packages()

works beautifully from the R.app GUI,
popping up a menu list of packages
to install.  After installing, 
focus does not return to the R prompt.

Could this be modified to return focus to the
R.app prompt after package installation?

(Many thanks to Simon Urbanek and all for
 making R 2.5.0 and Bioconductor materials
 available for the Mac so quickly.)
R version 2.5.0 (2007-04-23)

Hi,

Version 4330 of the GUI at http://r.research.att.com/ contains some  
fixes for below kind of issues:
***Not*** solved:
Haven't figured out what's happening here. Even if it finds help, say  
for mean, focus is lost. For now TAB will have to do.

If you don't use svn + Xcode, you can either download the GUI for  
2.6.0 (if that's the R version you're using) or R-2.5-branch- 
xxxxx.dmg from Simon's page above to get an updated version of R.app.

Regards,
Rob
