[R] R_USER - in which file should I include it?

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Could you explain more clearly what you mean by "the same"?
Do you mean that each time you click on R 2.7.2 icon on your
desktop that running this from the R console:

getwd()

is the same directory on each startup?  Isn't that already the case?
I don't think you need to set any environment variables at all.  If
you don't set
any environment variables then what specifically is happening that
you don't want to happen?
