Looking for help - demo() hangs R.app on 10.15.6

Hello!  I am a brand-new useR and have installed R-4.0.2.pkg and XQuartz on my macOS 10.15.6.  The R GUI launches fine, but when I type 'demo()', the application hangs (even with XQuartz running).  However, I can run from the CLI in my XQuartz window just fine.  Where can I go to get help to get up and running? Thank you.

I have the same version of macOS and R. I do not have any problem with
'demo()' but
'demo(package = .packages(all.available = TRUE))' hangs with the spinning
ball until I force quit R.

Which Rgui version is this? A somewhat similar issue with opening files on some platforms was fixed shortly after 4.0.2 in Rgui rev 7849. 

I forget whether this was pushed to the CRAN binary (my install has 7847). At any rate, if yours is older, you may want to try Rgui.app from https://mac.r-project.org

I'm having the problem on R for R 4.0.2 GUI 1.72 Catalina build (7847).

I am experiencing my issues with the same version: R.app 1.72, rev 7847.
I?ll attempt a rev 7849 download.

Thank you both for responding!

I am pleased to announce that Peter?s suggestion worked!  I just downloaded
and installed the R-4.0.0 (Patched) from the Mac nightly builds site and
now R.app is version 1.73 and the rev is 7883.  The command ?demo()? worked
just fine.  Thank you very much!
