[R] easiest way to integrate own functions on startup

[stephen sefick]

If you get a program called smultron (or other program that can open
hidden files), go to your working directory, and then "open hidden
file" and find your .Rprofile file.  I set mine up by searching
through the archive and borrowing little bits of code for setting up a
self-compiled version on os x 10.3.9.  The process should be the same
on 10.5.4 which I also have up and running.  I don't know if there is
a tutor, but if you search on the internet or paste on the sig-mac
list you may get some advice.  BUT please don't post both places.

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods.  We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.
