[R] OS X proxy question

2005-03-22 Thread Drew Balazs
All,

I'm currently using R 2.0.1 on a Powerbook G4 with OS X 10.3.8. So far
the only way I've found to set my proxy is by doing 
Sys.putenv(http_proxy=insert proxy url:proxy port)  everytime I
start up R.

This works fine, but I'd like to find a solution that doesnt require
manual input everytime I start up R. Does any one have a better way of
accomplishing this?


Thanks,

Drew Balazs

if I understand your  problem, you need a way to get some environment 
variables right which usually are set in .profile or .cshrc.

to this  end you need a directory `.MacOSX' in your home dir and there a 
file `environment.plist'. this can best be edited with the uitility 
`Property Editor' which is in `/Developer/Applications/Utilities'.
