I have done this, but how does one invoke the "Aqua R" from within
GRASS using the 'StartR' application?<br>

This is optional, but useful for geostats. Click on CRAN, choose a
mirror, click on R Binaries, macosx, and download RAqua.dmg. Double
click on that package and install tcltk, libreadline, and finally
RAqua. This installs the OSX port of R to Applications/StartR.

Two reasons:
a) I figured the R team had already gone to the trouble to Aqua-fy it,
and the "offical" port would be better supported and more
Mac-integrated.
b) The r-base package isn't yet present in either Fink's stable or
unstable "current-10.3" branch.
I still think the Fink project is brilliant though.

Welcome to the wonderful world of UNIX-powered. Confusing versions of
the same thing for over 30 years. Still, I'd rather have 3 chances of
finding a version that does exactly what I want versus 1 generic version
that only partially does. That doesn't mean you can't put together an
intergrated package with the components pre-chosen by an expert of
course.
And if you think the tyranny of choice is bad on OSX, you should give
Linux a try... eg:
[Debian]$ apt-cache search editor | wc -l
384

Hamish
