yeap, I've done it,

I'm not sure what the question is now (and please "context post" instead of top-posting) -- I suppose you could patch the C code that prints that message if you want it to say something else. You'd have
to re-build R but it's easy code to change.

It's at the top of $R_HOME/src/main/version.c:
http://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/main/version.c


Hmm, removing other people's copyright notices is bad form, and against the licence if you distribute the modified version.

Michael,
copyright, copyleft, it's not about it, if it was then we probably would not be discussing it, for.. there probably would not had been R in the first place. I'm sure everybody here greatly appreciate open source, I have no doubts about is, massive respect, we all contribute, no need to preach it.
Jim,
I was afraid that would be the last resort, Rprofile, as I understand it, cannot alter this very first "welcome" message, can add to it but not change it.
maybe somewhere in R code though, no?
practicalities dictate terms I'm trying to work with, hoping this limited space for text, R-studio in my case, I can make more "useful"
and it's Linux it all runs on

regards everybody


Michael

hi everybody

I wonder if there is a simple way, but not simple would be
ok too,
to customize info/welcome page at session start time?

Probably easiest to do it by way of some cat() calls in your .Rprofile.
See ?Startup for details.

MW

what I'd like to do is to put together simple short howto /
dos & don'ts page for users,
I'm thinking it would be great if it was possible

many thanks
