[R] cycling from x11 window in RCommander to graphics device window: Mac Os 10.6.8

[Simon Kiss]

Dear John,
The Command Tab does not work for me, but I have been able to get expose to work. I.e. it does bring up all windows, including the x11 terminal.  It will take a little getting used to, but it is functional.
I apologize for cluttering the list with minutiae
Thank you!
Yours
S.

I must admit that my habit in classroom demonstrations on a Mac is to use Expose to select Windows, but, unless I misunderstand your problem, Command-tab also works.

>> Everything appears to be working fine, except for one thing.  I cannot use Command-tab to cycle from the X11 window in which RCommander is running to any other window open in my workspace.  This is particularly important because I cannot cycle to the graphics device window that is opened when I call a new plot.  If I force quit the X11 window and Rcommander, R remains running and I can see the graphics device window and the plot looks fine.
