[R-SIG-Mac] Setting environment variables, especially http_proxy and ftp_proxy

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

And I guess you can put it in .Renviron which contains environment  
variables being set when you run R. I am not sure however that the  
Rgui reads that file? I know there are ways to run R without the file  
being read - I think R CMD BATCH is one of them.
