My strategy for loading my own functions at startup is to keep my functions in a separate file (not .Rprofile) that I source into its own environment via .Rprofile. My .Rprofile looks like this: ### .diag <- new.env() sys.source( "/path/to/sourcefile/functions_to_load.R", envir = .diag ) attach( .diag ) ### I can't claim credit for this; I put it together from other posts on this mailing list, but I don't remember the source now. And I cannot speak to whether this is the "best" way, but it works fine for me. Hope that helps. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
