Hi Erin, There is no "appropriate directory" until you have a package. Until the package is built, R will not access and use the help documentation. So I guess the answer is, "wherever it is convenient for you to find and edit as your function develops until the time when you put it in one of your packages however small and generally not meant for distribution to others that particular package may be".
