Neither of these options appears to have any effect under Mac OSX. I run R from the command line from a terminal window (not from the GUI) and I have X11 installed so that in R > x11() does indeed put up a graphics window. But it always puts it (the initial window) in exactly the same place, irrespective of my having put the specified line in ~/.Xresources before starting R, or having issued the specified options() command immediately after having started R (before issuing the x11() command). It's no big deal --- I'm reasonably happy with the default position of the window. I just hate it when a computer refuses to follow instructions, with no explanation. :-( cheers, Rolf Turner P.
