If you search the list archives, you may find a solution to
this that I posted several months ago.  It involves moving
one's own functions to a dedicated directory, saving them in
an R workspace in that directory, and then loading that
workspace in the .Rprofile file.  

My method is a LOT simpler than making an R package but it is
more complex than saving the functions with dput or otherwise
in a file to be reloaded.  Its advantage is that (like making
a package) it makes the functions available to you even when
you open R in a different directory.
