[R] Command area in SciViews 0.8.9 - second try

[stgries at arcor.de]

Dear all

I am writing again with a question I posted a few weeks ago (to no avail). I have a problem with SciViews for R. It's probably a slightly stupid question but I cannot find a solution to a very elementary problem. I am using SciViews 0.8.9 on with R 2.3.1pat on a Windows XP Home machine. R is set to SDI mode, I start R, enter "library(svGUI)", SciViews starts properly, I can access the docks and everything so the installation is ok. But:

(i) the command area at the bottom cannot be found
(ii) the regular R window cannot be minimized/maximized anymore.

I don't know what to do to get the command area back. I have checked the web but all I could come up with (<http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/12/16841.html>) is the recommendation to click on Misc: Toolbars: Command. But I did that and it's still not visible. Am I making some kind of stupid mistake? I have uploaded a screenshot to my website at <http://www.linguistics.ucsb.edu/faculty/stgries/other/sciviews.png> to show you what's happening. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance for your time and all the best,
STG
