After reading the help files (?Startup) and using RSiteSearch("defaultPackages"), I have been trying to add several packages to my default startup list using the following code:
local({ old<-getOption("defaultPackages") options(defaultPackages=c(old,"lattice","RODBC") }) Subsequently, when I query the default list using: getOption("defaultPackages") the list of packages I have added appears along with the standard defaults. However, when I restart R, none of these packages are loaded and they don't appear in the default list when it is queried again. There's probably something simple I am missing and I am hoping that someone will (politely) point out where I've messed up. I am running R 2.4.0 on a Windows 2000 PC. Sys.getenv("R_USER") returns the location of my Rconsole in the "...My Documents" file, but my working directory is in the "...program files/R/R-2.4.0" directory, if that helps.
