R help - Mar 2004 - setwd() permenent

Hello
when I close and reopen R it gives back a different wd
than what I used in setwd. how can I get it to
permenently use dirname in setwd("dirname") and not
the other name it keeps defaulting to?
I am using W2K and ESS
thanks

Since you are using ESS, you need to start R in the working directory you 
want.

Since you are using Windows, please do read the rw-FAQ which covers this
for the normal usage calls and asks you to send ESS questions to ess-help.
