[R] function is too long to keep source

[Marcel Vieira]

Thanks a lot for your help.

But I am getting that error message when I am trying to
load my function. Then I can't use anything to minimise it.

Is there anything I can do to increase R's
capacity for loading very long functions?

Many thanks.
Marcel
