Dear Douglas,
I'm not quite sure about that, but you could do something like:

1. Save for function in txt format
2. Use source() to load it into R

As a toy example, suppose you have function called "myfunction" which is
defined as:

myfunction=funciton(x,y) x^y

Now, suppose you save "myfunction" in a text file in "C:/temp/functions",
with the same name ("myfunction.txt"). To load and use "myfunction" in R,
you type:

source("C:/temp/functions/myfunction.txt")
myfunction(2,3)

which result, of course, would be 8.

Another option is to save your function in the file "..\etc\Rprofile.site"
as Xiaoxu LI suggested before.

HTH,

Jorge
