[R-SIG-Mac] Screen device under macOS X

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

This has everything to do with your configuration.  I don't know why R
does not do this out of the box when build with quartz support, but I
know you can change it by, for example,
   Sys.setenv("R_INTERACTIVE_DEVICE" = "quartz")
in your .Rprofile
