Gabor gave you a way to do that. I was responding to your suggestion that R should be modified to make this more convenient, because >To my knowledge, it is a common practice for users to archive some script >files in other directories than current working directory, when the script >files are frequently used in many cases. So, it is somewhat surprising to me >there is no elegant solution to set up default search paths in R. I don't think this is a common practice; if it is, it shouldn't be. Frequently used code should be in functions. There are a lot of ways to get those functions into your workspace, but R packages are the best one. There *is* a mechanism (the .libPaths function) for specifying a search path for packages.
