     Plug-ins are R packages that extend the R Command interface.

     An R Commander plug-in is an ordinary R package that (1) provides
     extensions to  the R Commander menus is a file named 'menus.txt'
     located in the package's  'etc' directory; (2) provides call-back
     functions required by these menus; and (3) in optional
     'Log-Exceptions:' and 'Models:' fields in the package's
     'DESCRIPTION' file, augments respectively the list of functions
     for which printed output is suppressed and the list of model
     objects  recognized by the R Commander. The menus provided by a
     plug-in package are merged with the standard Commander menus.

     Plug-in packages given in the R Commander 'plugins' option  (see
     'Commander') are automatically loaded when the Commander starts
     up. Plug-in packages may also be loaded via the Commander _Tools
     -> Load Rcmdr plug-in(s)_ menu; a restart of the Commander is
     required to install the new menus. Finally, loading a plug-in
     package when the 'Rcmdr' is not loaded will load the 'Rcmdr' and
     activate the plug-in.

     An illustrative R Commander plug-in package,
     'RcmdrPlugin.TeachingDemos', is available on CRAN.
