[R-SIG-Mac] Help with Rcmdr package!

[John Fox]

Dear Simon,

Thanks for fielding this question. Instructions for installing X11 under
Tiger are part of the Rcmdr installation notes for Mac OS. (Actually, I'd be
grateful if you could take a quick look at those instructions and suggest
and corrections or updates that might occur to you.)

Best,
 John
