Read ?Startup.  My first idea would be to make use of a ~/.Rprofile file.

`Autoloading' is a technical term in R (see ?autoload), which I presume is 
not what you meant.  My guess is that you want R Commander to be started 
when you start R.

Dear Stephen,

I believe that this question has been asked before, though possibly
privately rather than on the r-help list. A solution (kindly provided, as I
recall, by Brian Ripley) is to put the following in an appropriate start-up
file. For example, if you *always* want to start the Rcmdr when R starts,
this could go in Rprofile.site in R's etc subdirectory. For more detail, see
?Startup, as others have suggested.

local({
  old - getOption(defaultPackages)
  options(defaultPackages = c(old, Rcmdr))
})

I hope this helps,
 John

Dear Stephen,

As a brief addendum, this information (and other information) is in the
Rcmdr installation notes, at
http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/installation-notes.html.

Sorry I forgot that when I posted my original answer.

John
