Although it would be possible to make that a configurable option, it'd definitely not want that. It would make R's behavior sort of random, because you would never know where it will start from ... a really bad thing (IMHO). If you want to work on a specific project, it's much more convenient to just drag the directory on R to start it and you can then work on multiple projects conveniently and independently. > As for >> PS: Please use R-SIG-Mac for Mac-specific questions. > > This is appearing in R-SIG-Mac.
