[R-SIG-Mac] newbie- launch X11 application from a R tcltk GUI

[Simone Gabbriellini]

this is the one that works for me:

system("open-x11 /Applications/visone-1.0")

the fact is that if I have a mac os application (i.e. Safari.app)  
"open Safari.app" works, but with an X11 application as visone-1.0 I  
need "open-x11 visone-1.0".

many thanks to you all,
simone
