Subject: [Rd] Rprofile not executed in R 2.2.0 alpha for Windows
Message-ID: <20050916014739.UISK21026.tomts16-srv.bellnexxia.net@JohnDesktop8300>

Dear list members (esp. Duncan),

I've run into the following curious problem with Version 2.2.0 alpha for
Windows: Options in the Profile file in R's etc directory don't appear to be
set. (I habitually uncomment options(chmhelp=TRUE), to no effect in this
case.)  As far as I can see, the only thing non-standard about my
installation is that I put R 2.2.0 alpha under c:\R rather than under
c:\Program Files.

Regards,
 John
