It seems that my Rprofile.site file is not executed when I start R. To test this I included the following code in that file:
.First <- function(){ cat("\nWelcome at", date(), "\n") flush.console() } When I start R the message above is not displayed. I am running R 2.6.1 (rgui.exe) under Vista Home Premium. The Rprofile.site is in the etc folder and the R_PROFILE variable has the value "". I looked in the help (?Startup) but could not figure out what is wrong. Any suggestions? Thanks.
