R 2.10.0 beta -- please test!

The position of the plot window still ignores the preference  
setting, and resolutely appears bottom left.

A second point is the Undo. When I sequentially undo code in the  
GUI, right brackets that have been inserted automatically are  
ignored during the undo, so that they remain after all the other  
code has been undone. The same applies to double and single quotes.

Thanks, fixed.

Also, the "magnifying glass" help files on both the R Console and  
the
R Help windows do not open the desired help pages, they only bring
focus to the help window.

Thanks, also fixed in the revision 5509.

Thanks again for the reports,

Yes -- that's a function of the Quartz device -- ever since it has  
been moved from the GUI to core R it doesn't listen to what the GUI  
says anymore ;). It's too late for that now but I'll put it on my  
list for 2.10.1.

Interesting point - I'll need to figure out where this comes from  
because I don't remember seeing it before ...

Thanks,
Simon
