[R] how to get the 'starting directory'

[MAURICE Jean - externe]

Hi Martin,

And you forgot Git !

So for now, I gave up (abandonned ?) Git

And if Rstudio annoys me once more, I'll abandon it (skip it ?)

I like when things are simple and when I error occurs I like to have a message ...

Jean
PS I know something complicated that is very simple to use : SBB CFF FFS !

Indeed, as Petr guessed correctly, this is what  Rstudio produces for you.

and, indeed #2, Jean,  you (and many others!) should learn to distinguish between R and  Rstudio+R ( or ESS+R or StatET+R ).

The more sophisticated these GUIs become, the more often we have to make this distinction, unfortunately, as the price for sophistication unfortunately is typically paid by more bugs.
This is not just the case for Rstudio but ESS as well (says a long time ESS project maintainer).
