All: The select.list() command brings up a "modal dialog box with a (scrollable) list of items ..." etc. -- i.e., a GUI control. I also know about winDialog, file.choose and the winMenu commands. What other such GUIisms are built into ** base ** R (I know about the tcltk package)? Or, better yet, how can I search on or list them? Many thanks.

Tow packages (widgetTools and tkWidgets) in www.bioconductor.org web site may be of interest to you. widgetTools allows users to build widgets using R (without having to know any tcl/tk or R tcltk command). tkWidgets contains widgets for data import, file/object selection ....>All: > >The select.list() command brings up a "modal dialog box with a (scrollable) >list of items ..." etc. -- i.e., a GUI control.

They tend to be documented under the keyword "utilities", and a search of help for the word "Windows" will turn them up. If you want to be sure to find all the Windows-specific functions, I think the only way is to look at the source: go to src/library/base/R/windows for the R code, and src/library/base/man/windows for the documentation.
