After some paper clipping problems I checked options() and saw that the default paper size was a4; I need US Letter. So as per instructions I uncommented the R_PAPERSIZE line in config.site, R_PAPERSIZE=letter Restarting R, everything is still the same though. I guess I have to reinstall? That seems awkward. Is there a way a prompt ("a4 or letter paper?") can be inserted in the normal install procedure? Or at least explain in INSTALL that this change to config.site needs to be done prior to installing. Thanks for any help.
