Ted, Use: setwd("PathToDir") prior to quitting. That will set your working directory. Alternatively, you can always use: save.image("PathToDir/.RData") to save the workspace image explicitly where you want it. See ?setwd and ?save.image HTH, Marc Schwartz ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
