I personally place functions like this in my .First function under the .Rprofile, making them instantly accessible. I also keep a function called my.fun() which lists a data frame containing a column of all the function names, one for arguments, and a brief description. This also goes in .First. Again, this makes it easy to quickly reference what you have and makes all your functions quickly accessible. Tyler
