Hi,
You might like tk_choose.files from package tcltk. This comes with R but
your system needs to be capable enough:
> capabilities( )["tcktk"]
> require( tcltk )
> tk_choose.files

I am used to using the [R] function choose.files() for interactive file
selection in MS-Windows.
What is the comparable function in Linux? I expected the function file.choose() to
display similar behavior, i.e., a graphical interface diplaying a file listing, but all I
seem to get is a "text input prompt". This does not seem correct.

Enter file name:
I have seen gfile() function in the gWidgets library - but isn't there anything native?
Thank you!
