I am using R and RStudio versions 2.13.1 and 0.94.106 respectively.
I am using Financial Instrument and everything is working for a single data
source.  I have my Rprofile file setup to load packages, define my
instruments, and set my symbol lookup souce.

# packages to load at startup
library(quantmod)
library(fTrading)

# currencies defined

currency("USD")
currency("GBP")

# now exchange rates

# British Pound Rates
exchange_rate("GBPUSD","GBP","USD")

# Set symbol lookups
setSymbolLookup.FI("HistFX", storage_method="rda")

Once I start R or RStudio everything loads and I can run the following and
everything works:
getSymbols.FI("GBPUSD")

This all works for a single data source but I have multiple data sources or
data sets that I would like to access and would like to put everything in
my RProfile but I have yet to figure out how to make it work.

For example, I have a series of historical data files that I got from a
vendor who is not my broker.  So I want to keep my historical data files
separate in one directory 'HistFX' and any data I get from my broker in a
separate folder called 'Broker' for example.

So the directories might look like:

C:\Documents\HistFX\GBPUSD
C:\Documents\Broker\GBPUSD

I tried adding multiple lines to my RProfile with for each source but it
looks like the last line read in is the 'live' one.  I even tried adding
'src=' to try and distinguish one from the other
setSymbolLookup.FI("HistFX", storage_method="rda")
setSymbolLookup.FI("Broker", storage_method="rda")

setSymbolLookup.FI("HistFX", storage_method="rda", src="hist")
setSymbolLookup.FI("Broker", storage_method="rda", src='broker")

I realize the simplest solution would be to just add a setSymbolLookup.FI
command to any script I use pointing to the data I want to use - i.e.
historical or broker - but like I said I was trying to do this in the
RProfile.

Any help would be appreciated.
