Some packages have their own option-like mechanism, e.g. sm.
Others use environment variables for this purpose.
And there are userhooks for .First.lib, .onLoad and .onAttach that could
be exploited.
In the Hmisc case, you are talking about messages, I believe. You can
handle those via message c
Since you have not told us what 'the documents' are (and only vaguely
named one), do you not think your own documentation is inadequate?
There are documents about the condition system on developer.r-project.org:
please consult them.

I want to load an in-house library 'differently' in a particular context and,
to achieve this, would like to govern the behaviour of its .onLoad()
function.
In a related context, Frank Harrell and I have been wondering on and off
about how to tell Hmisc to be less verbose in certain situations.
I'm confused by the page documenting tryCatch and friends.
I think it describes 3 separate mechanisms: tryCatch (in which control
returns to the invoking tryCatch), withCallHandlers (in which control
goes up to the calling handler/s but then continues from the point at
which signalCondition() was
Hi,
Our department has finally decided to get a powerful server (or maybe
a cluster) for computationally intensive jobs. I will mainly run R
and Matlab, on Linux.
We are currently in the process of deciding what kind of hardware to
get, so I would like to ask for suggestions from those who have
