Hi Maura,
Compound quotes can become an absolute nightmare (in any language).
R already has Tcl/TK packages, check out the following from CRAN...
ade4TKGUI
gWidgetstcltk
plotAndPlayGTK *
RGtk2
* possibly what your after?
Also you might find some of the packages listed at the Graphics Task
View of use (http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Graphics.html),
perhaps something under the Dynamic Graphics section?
Personally if I wanted fancy graphics for a presentation I'd go down
the line of LaTeX to produce nice PDF's which can have nice grahpics
and "pop up's". LaTeX is well supported in R via the Sweave suite and
various other packages such as xtable() and the latex functions in
Hmisc() and many other packages.
Sorry I've not provided any direct solution,
Neil
