Hello Everyone,

I had posted the message below to the r-help listserv...

 >Recently I was given a Java servlet based web calculator that will

--vanilla??

I received this reply from someone...

 >If you are calling libR.so, it is an option set when you initialize R.
 >See Rf_initEmbeddedR in 'Writing R Extensions' and the examples in the 
tests/Embedded directory in the sources.
 >BTW, discussion of embedded R is definitely off topic for R-help: use 
the R-devel list.

Now my question is. Is there any way to modify the source so that I can 
force R to use the --no-save option? If so, would someone be kind enough 
to show me what code I would modify to force the --no-save option?

Thanks!
