Dear Prof. Ripley, many thanks for your swift reply. This is indeed correct and educative --thanks for this; but now I am kind of curious where this different behaviour compared to version 2.12.0 has been announced or can be found? I have read the NEWS file and the Windows specific NEWS of the latest release, but was not able to find any pointer. That is, if I issue 'R CMD Sweave foo.Rnw' in cmd.exe with R version 2.12.0, the hard-coded path to Sweave.sty is included and hence environmental variables contained in the startup files are read. Asked differently, is there a way such that R CMD Sweave does read the startup files under R 2.13.0? re: Kasper, many thanks for your reply. Incidentally, I have had 'Sys.setenv("SWEAVE_STYLEPATH_DEFAULT" = "TRUE")' directive already included in my .Rprofile, but as Prof. Ripley correcly pointed out, these settings are not taken effect.
