Re: [R] easiest way to integrate own functions on startup
If you get a program called smultron (or other program that can open hidden files), go to your working directory, and then "open hidden file" and find your .Rprofile file. I set mine up by searching through the archive and borrowing little bits of code for setting up a self-compiled version on os x 10.3.9. The process should be the same on 10.5.4 which I also have up and running. I don't know if there is a tutor, but if you search on the internet or paste on the sig-mac list you may get some advice. BUT please don't post both places.

Hi Jörg,
I do you not use .Fisrt.
Something like this:
.First <- function(){
source(MyFunction1.txt)
source(MyFunction2.txt)
source(MyFunction3.txt)
...
source(MyFunctionn.txt)
}

Re: [R] easiest way to integrate own functions on startup
Hi, I tried to generate a .Rprofile file. But R does not load it automatically. Is there a tutorial on the web on generating such a file? (haven't found anything that helped me) And where do I have to put this .Rprofile-file? In the working directory? Does R generate a .Rprofile file when R is installed? And if yes; where can I find this file on a mac? thanks for any help! __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Re: [R] easiest way to integrate own functions on startup
Is there a way to execute this command on every R-start? I tried to add something in the Startup.h file - but that didn't work. (working on a mac) Thanks!
