[R] Path to R script

[Shi, Tao]

Don't quite understand your question, but it looks like a more IT issue to me.  I guess you store your R scripts in a central location (e.g. a server) and everybody call them from their own workstation, right?  Or you can always bundle your R scripts into a package and distribute it around your group.

Thank you for any
