The file name, however is not .Rprofile, but rather Rprofile Charles Annis, P.E.

I am (for my sins) having to do some work using R under Windoze. I wanted to set up a .Rprofile to control my set-up. The docs on .Rprofile say that it can/should be placed in ``the user's home directory''. ``An Introduction to R'' observes lucidly that this concept needs to be clarified under Windoze. Following the suggestions in An Introduction to R, I tried putting a .Rprofile in "C:\Documents and Settings\rolf\My Documents" When that didn't work, I tried putting it in the starting directory (and confirmed that I'd got that right by checking with getwd() and list.files(all.files=TRUE) ). The last invocation indicated that the name of the file was *really* ``.Rprofile.txt'' --- although I'd tried to save it as (simply) ``.Rprofile''. Is that the problem? If so, how can I persuade Windoze NOT to stick that damned .txt tag on the end? (Gawd, but I ***hate*** Windoze!!!) If that's not the problem, can you suggest what *is* the problem? All that .Rprofile(.txt) has in it at the moment is options(prompt="Wheee! ") so that I can easily tell whether it's working. If I execute > source(".Rprofile.txt") the prompt does indeed get changed to ``Wheee! '' as it should. I would appreciate enlightenment.
