[R] R script autoload at startup

[javier garcia-pintado]

Thank you very much Prof Brian R,

I also wonder how I missed that.

Anyway, In my .Rprofile file:

>.First <- function() cat ("\n Welcome to R!\n")

works perfectly, while:

>.First <- function() winMenuAdd("Newmenu")

give me the answer:

"Error in .First(): couldn't find function "winMenuAdd"

I just can add the new menu, and create the menu entries later, calling a 
source() that adds the menus.

Perhaps the functions to add menus to the RGUI are called after the .RProfile 
is red?

To add it via the .Rprofile would be perfect, but anywat, to be able to create 
the menu calling manually a source after the GUI is completely started is 
good enough for me.

Best regards,

Javier
