Title of quartz window

Colleagues,

R 2.8.1 in OS X 10.5.6

When I open a quartz window:
	quartz(title="some text")
the title of the window appears as:
	some text [*]
i.e., R appends a bracket-asterisk-bracket

When I open a second window with the same name, the appended text does  
not appear.

Questions:
1.  What controls that appended text?
2.  Can I suppress it?

Dennis

The asterisk denotes that the given Quartz device window is active  
(i.e. it is the current graphics device) you cannot suppress it.
FWIW: Your description is not quite correct - [*] appears for the  
first quartz window you create and it also appears on any new window  
you create, but at the same time it disappears from the first one. It  
will also disappear when you open another (non-quartz) device in which  
case none of the windows will have an asterisk.

Cheers,
Simon
