Dear Simon, I'm sitting in front of a MacBook Pro and Command-tab works perfectly fine for me: Selecting X11 brings the R Commander Window to the front, and selecting R brings the Quartz graphics window to the front. I must admit that my habit in classroom demonstrations on a Mac is to use Expose to select Windows, but, unless I misunderstand your problem, Command-tab also works.
I'm using R 2.13.1 under Mac OS X 10.6.7 with XQuartz 2.3.6 and tcltk-8.5.5-x11. I hope this helps, John ------------------------------------------------ John Fox Sen.
