I'm not sure where you're looking for Rswitch but it's here: http://r.research.att.com/ > I will try renaming the app and reload R15.2. If you are suggesting renaming R.app, I don't think that will accomplish what you want. Try Rswitch. Incidentaly, all RSwitch does is create a symbolic link from the version you selected to "Current" in /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions. If you are more comfortable using the command line to do this, you can.
