It is possible to create a file named R.R and stick it in the library/base/demo directory under the R home directory (on my PC it is /usr/local/lib64/R) with R source code in it. If you then enter: demo(R) in R you will run the file. You can put any valid R code into it.

Indeed, you can put all kinds of things in the Rprofile.
I use this:
# = my own first-function
.First <- function(){
cat("\n>>> R 2.15.2 Rprofile van 13-02-2013 \n\nFunctions
added:\t sinc()\t permute()\t combine()\n dice(n)\t countif()\t pplot()\t
lplot()\n ln()\t xmatplot()\t ascii()\t chr()\n to.dec()\t
to.hex()\tincr()\tdecr()\n as.sci()\tas.eng()\tnprint()\nVectors added: eps,
ans, xpoints, xcols\nText:lorem\n\n")
cat("Default Packages:",getOption("defaultPackages"))
}
# ==
This gets printed after R's built-in message.
As this text states, I also put my own functions in the Rprofile. Works fine.
Best wishes,
Franklin
