I think I did that once by accidentally placing the .Rprofile in two places. In Windows I think that was the directory that contains the R executable and in My Documents. I think you can also cause this by setting your working directory in your .Rprofile with setwd() and then it runs any .Rprofile it finds there too. Whichever way I did it, I had removed a function from one and still had the second one performing that function! That blew my mind until I found the second file. Cheers, -Bob
