[R-SIG-Mac].Rprofile in 1.3.1 (os 10.1)

[David A Richmond]

Actually, I did notice the line break issue when I copied the files (in
osX all the line breaks from os9 appeared as ^M) so I rewrote
".Rprofile" from scratch to read:

.First <- function() {
        library(sna)
}

(where sna is indeed a package which resides in the "library" folder.)

It still doesn't work. still getting: 
Error: syntax error: evaluating expression 0

the base package works, and if I type "library(sna)" at the prompt it
loads the library and I can use the sna functions fine.
