problem with tcltk under Windows (was [Rd] RE: [R] one more Rcmdrproblem)

[Prof Brian Ripley]

This is known and we believe already fixed, so please try a beta of 2.0.1, 
from

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rpatched.html

[BTW, the header is wrong, this is R-2.0.1 beta, not patch.]

Or just don't use Ctrl-C ....
