Excellent!
Thanks for the pointers. Although the functions were indeed loaded
with a source() call... I'll recheck the behaviour and see if I get
this to work how I want it.
thanks again!

Quoting Sarah Goslee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Functions you've loaded using source() should be saved.
For loading packages automatically, create a function called
.First and save it in that workspace. Anything in that function
will be carried out when the workspace is loaded.

Hi everyone,
I hope there's a simple way to achieve what I want, but I haven't found the
way.
I do microarray analysis using R and a number of packages as well as some
functions created my myself.
When I save the workspace, it saves all the data structures, that's great...
But when I click (I'm on Windows XP, if it matters) on teh resulting .RData
file, I have to reload the functions I made, as well as the relevant
packages. It is not really a big deal, but sometimes I want to give a
colleague something I'm working on, and it would be a lot easier to just
give the .RData file, without adding the extras. Especially when it comes to
my own functions. I was hoping they'd be saved, because I see them listed
after 'ls()' but they're not.
I'm starting to suspect that this is another reason why people build
packages... but it seems a bit involved, especially in Windows. I was shown
how to do it in Linux and it wasn't painful, but in Windows... ouch. Tried
and failed repeatedly. Gave up.
Any comments appreciated!
Jose
