Hi!
Thanks for your reply.
Indeed, I'm on Linux.
I tried to do what you said, but nothing happened.
I made a file called First.R in my work directory. It contains this code
.First<-function(){
source("First.R")
source("client.r")
cat("it worked.")
}
I then source("First.R"), ok. and quit R.
WhenI restart, nothing happens - maybe because I didn't save the image?
But I don't want to have to save the image, I want to make a dynamic startup
of R with a file loaded, and execute a function call.
I alse tried this approach:
$ R < file.r
it seems to load, almost, then R quits.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help in any case!
GF.
