Dear list,
First off, let me offer my apologies, I know this is a very basic
question. After amassing a large number of objects (from multiple
projects) in one working directory, I'd like to be able to start using
different directories, just for the sake of organization alone. But I
have no idea how to do this. I am using a mac, running R 2.5.
I'm not very familiar with the MacOS X version of R, but students of
mine were using it recently and under the Misc menu there is an entry to
change the working directory, which provides a standard Mac directory
selection dialogue box IIRC.
Alternatively, start R as per usual and then change into the correct
directory using the setwd() function.
You should probably update your R - 2.5.0 is 18 months old now, 2.8.0 is
current.

Searching the FAQ online I find:
12.1 How can I have a per session .Rprofile?
You can by writing a .Rprofile file in your favorite session
directory...
So I think my specific question is how do I write a .Rprofile? I know
it should be obvious, but is there a command to be called in the R
console during a given session, or do I write a stub file outside of R
(in a session directory?), open this using Preferences and then modify
it in an R session? If the latter, how do I go about writing a stub
and making R recognize it as a working directory, and what is a
session directory/how can I find where the default session directory
is located?
Again, my apologies for being naive, and thanks very much for any
help--
