David - the startup directory for Terminal.app shouldn't affect where R
looks for .Rprofile. If R is started from the command line, it should
look in whatever is the user's current directory (which will be ~/ if
Terminal was just launched), and then ~/ . It shouldn't be looking in
Thanks for the help, Amos!
The only reason that *should* happen is if there's an .Rprofile in the
directory you're in when you start R.
There is only one .Rprofil, which is in my home directory ~/
Where *exactly* is the .Rprofile file you want loaded

Dear Gang Chen;
The .Rprofile is loaded from the startup directory. Terminal.app will
start up in /Applications/ while your R.app session appears to be
