Full_Name: Henrik Bengtsson Version: R v1.7.1 OS: WinXP Pro, Solaris 9 Submission from: (NULL) (130.235.2.229)
A colleague of mine who is new to R had problems setting up his .Rprofile and we tracked it down to the following. On both WinXP and Solaris with Rv1.7.1 we noticed that the *last* line in .Rprofile has to have a *newline* to be evaluated. For instance, starting R with the following .Rprofile: a <- 1 <newline> b <- 2 will only set the variable 'a'. Adding a newline to the second line will set 'b' too. FYI: I browsed through ?.Rprofile and R-intro.html to see if it was document, but it does not seem so. I also checked with the behavior of source() too, but there a newline is not required.
