That was a design decision in Rscript as loading 'methods' is slow. And FWIW, littler does the same: edd@max:~$ r -e'print(search())' [1] ".GlobalEnv" "Autoloads" "package:base" edd@max:~$ r -lmethods -e'print(search())' [1] ".GlobalEnv" "package:methods" "Autoloads" "package:base" edd@max:~$ Dirk -- Dirk Eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org | http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
