R help - Aug 2011 - <TAB> completion in R console when using Lion OSX

R version: 2.13.1 64 bit for macOSX
R console version: R for Mac OS X GUI 1.40-devel Leopard build 64-bit (5874)


Problem:  When I go to use the <TAB> auto completion feature it keeps
tagging on all the listed options instead of just allowing me to pick one.  Is
there a fix for this?

If this is the same issue (I don't use the GUI), it was recently discussed
over on R-sig-mac:

A quick peek at the page referenced suggests that as of this writing, Simon is
up to rev 5901, so you should update to that.

For Mac specific queries, you should subscribe and post to the r-sig-mac list:
