[R] .Rprofile, .Rfirst, and .Rdata

[David Richmond]

Hi all,
After a short hiatus away from R I have found that it's changed a bit. I used to keep a definition of .First in .Rprofile that did a couple of things on startup (load a couple of libraries). Now, I've discovered that when I change the definition of .First in .Rprofile it doesn't change anything when I start up, because .First is held over in .Rdata from the last session. The manual states that now .Rdata is loaded last, as intended. My question is, how do I change what's in .First (or any other variable, for that matter), if .Rdata will always override my changes? (I'd prefer not to have to do it manually, and I'd prefer to have all the other data preserved, rather than just leaving out .Rdata)

Dave R.
