The easiest way for you, is to put your Sys.setenv command inside a file called .Rprofile, locate in the root of your home directory, ie. ~/.Rprofile

Commands in this file gets run when you start R.

Thanks. I've seen this posted on the internet and here as well but I'm
not sure I understand the syntax for setting it permanently. When I run

Sys.setnenv(R_INTERACTIVE_DEVICE="quartz")

It works fine until I close R and then I when I open R again via ESS
X11 is called. I am sorry if this seems like a redundant question.
I've really googled this and found this 
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2008-October/005402.html
 and similar posts but I'm not sure how it helps. I've read the
device section in options() but it still remains unclear to me.
Thanks,
Chris

See ?options, look at 'device'.

This is getting to be an FAQ ....

Hi, I am running CarbonEmacs and calling R from ESS. When I graph
data  the default device in ESS is X11() and I'd prefer it to call
quartz() instead. Is there a way that I can do this by default
without having to specify quartz() prior to running a graph?
Cheers,
Chris
