[R] Building tkentry dynamicly

[John Fox]

Dear Sean,

That was Peter Dalgaard's suggestion, posted a little while ago. It's a much
better solution to Alexandre's problem than what I suggested. I'm not sure
that it would work for the Rcmdr dialog that I mentioned, but I'll take a
look when I have a chance.

Regards,
 John
