I'm trying to source a file automatically every time I start R. I

file .Rprofile in my $HOME directory and .Rprofile in the working
directory:
.First <- function(){
source(file.path(Sys.getenv("HOME"), "R", "functions","standard.r"))
cat("Actually read your file!!!!")
}
- but no luck. I'm using a Mac (OS 10.4). It never runs (the file
is not
sourced and the text does not appear). Does anyone have any
suggestions?
Ideally, I would like to have a directory and source all the files
in the
directory in startup, but this is just a first step (is that
possible?).
I just tried your example, i.e. I put your definition of .First()
into my
.Rprofile (after creating a directory ``R'' in my home directory, a
subdirectory
of that called ``functions'', and a file in that called ``standard.r'').
Started R, and ``standard.r'' was sourced --- no problema. I too am
running on
a Mac --- darwin8.10.1.
So --- it's another Mac mystery. :-( Sorry that I can't be more
helpful.
cheers,
