The easiest way is probably to use the Save as... menu item in your favourite editor, and put the name in quotes, e.g. .Rprofile. This even works in Notepad, which is nobody's favourite editor.

[R] Command Line Prompt Symbol
Hi I run R in Windows. Is there a simple way of changing the prompt symbol to, say, R ? (Not just for a temporary session, but every time R command window is opened.) The documentation of doing this is rather sparse. Much appreciated for your assistance.

Re: [R] Command Line Prompt Symbol
The simplest way to do this is to put
options(prompt = R )
in your .Rprofile file. If you don't have an .Rprifile file,
then persuading Windows to let you call a file by that name can
be frustrating. I suggest you delegate the job to R itself and
use something like this
---
wd - getwd()
setwd(Sys.getenv(R_USER)) ## change working directories
cat('\noptions(prompt = R )\n',
file = .Rprofile, append = TRUE)
setwd(wd)
---
Putting the .Rprofile in the R_USER directory ensures that it
will be used prior to all invocations of R you make.
