That is a work-around for a bug in R 2.2.0 release where the mac- 
binary installation code uses the misspelled function. Unfortunately  
no one noticed it during the alpha/beta phase, so it was only fixed  
in R-patched after the release.

Thanks, that's an encoding issue - fixed now in GUI revision 1956.

That's not really possible (AFAICS), because double-click advances  
into that directory. Without it there would be no way to browse into  
directories in the icon view.

Cheers,
