directories of each project. I put global startup stuff in .Rprofile and startup stuff particular to each project in the .First-s. I've always thought that .First was designed for that purpose.

More generally, suppose I want to ensure a variable is set to a certain value in .Rprofile, how can I be sure that R.data won't overwrite it? It just seems like loading .Rdata after .Rprofile makes it difficult to change things easily.What do you have in .First() that you can not have directly in the .Rprofile script? For example:
# ~/.Rprofile cat("Running my .Rprofile..."); library(modreg) cat("Running my .Rprofile...done"); Henrik Bengtsson-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of David Richmond Sent: den 6 februari 2003 13:57 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [R] .Rprofile, .Rfirst, and .Rdata 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. ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/> r-help______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
