Dear John,
To keep the session as simple as possible, this time I did not configure R
Commander to send the output to the R console.
This is what I did.
1. Load the file/workspace using R Commander.
2. Read the data set using R Commander’s “Data set” button.
3. View the data set using R Commander’s “View data set button”.
4. Close the “View data set” window.
5. Try to read the same data set using R Commander’s “Data set” button.
This is the error message I got today. It was displayed in the R Console, not
in the R Commander output window .
> Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTcl, ...), class = "tclObj") :
> [tcl] bad window path name ".3".
Additional information:
I tried to “Refresh the active data set” from the “Data” -> “Active Data set”
menu, and got the same error message, but with a different number at the end.
> Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTcl, ...), class = "tclObj") :
> [tcl] bad window path name ".6".
I saved the file with a different name, but when I tried to read the file with
the new name I got a similar error message.
> Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTcl, ...), class = "tclObj") :
> [tcl] bad window path name ".6".
Thanks for your time.
