[R-SIG-Mac] Location of plot() window

[Dennis Fisher]

Simon

I was hopeful that your suggestion would resolve the problem — however, when I execute the exact code that you suggested from a terminal, I get an error.
> library(Cocoa)
> quartz(); w = .M(.M("NSApplication", "sharedApplication"), "keyWindow")
> .M(w, "setFrameTopLeftPoint:", NSMakePoint(100, 1000))
Error in .M(w, "setFrameTopLeftPoint:", NSMakePoint(100, 1000)) : 
  cannot find target class or object.
A quartz window opens but the .M command did not move the window.  I searched the rforge website to see if it provided any insight but I could not find anything relevant.

I then executed from RGui successfully.

Can you advise how to make this work when executed from a terminal?

On a different note, the change log contains:
 new conversions code, support for many types
        has been added. Structs are converted to
        pairlists with a "stuct.name" attribute and vice versa.

Is there an “r” missing from:
	stuct.name

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Dennis
