My Mail StationeryDear R- users, I have a small question on R. The other day I was using R when I decided to quit and when I was prompted with the question whether I would like to save the workspace image, I accidently pressed yes and after that every time start R the previous work space gets loaded. How do I avoid this?

How do I avoid this?Just delete the .RData and .Rhistory file in that directory (if you don't need them anymore).

Please pardon my grumpiness but questions of this type make me wonder why r-help uses an E-mail list rather than an interactive chat room. There seems to be no memory of questions and answers which were covered in detail even as recently as two weeks ago. Perhaps some way should be found to force the visability of the e-mail archive onto new users. Frank -- Frank E Harrell Jr Prof. of Biostatistics & Statistics Div. of Biostatistics & Epidem.

Speaking for myself, I start out with the assumption that someone else already asked the same question and that the answer is likely to be found. That assumption is generally validated by using the various offline and online resources available. In most cases, the answers to my queries can be found if I I take the time to find it by searching and reading. Perhaps it is also the well documented male genetic trait in me that resists asking for help <vbg>. I typically do this, because even though there are many folks who have graciously offered their time to respond to such queries, such as those on this list, I both want to be sensitive to their time and I prefer to find the answer on my own or at least attempt to do so, because as I do, I usually find other useful information during the search. I do want to also compliment the core group and the contributors for the documentation that is provided as it has been extremely helpful. Perhaps two suggestions to help at least raise awareness, since I am a firm believer in "incrementalism", before the consideration of more complex approaches: 1. To the footer on the R-Help e-mail, perhaps URL links to both the R-Help archive page and the search page would at least make the online resources better known for some and more easily accessible to folks. If embedded in appropriate reminder text to suggest that a user review/search the archive before posting, this may be helpful. 2. To the Help menu in R, the addition of these two links would help to further raise the awareness of these resources. This is based upon the presumption that the first place most folks will go for assistance is the built-in help system. In both cases, if folks see these links, they will hopefully be tempted to review or search the archive for past similar posts, rather than generate a new one.

But every time I open R session I find the objects.There are several ways to get rid of the old saved workspace, for example: unlink(".RData") q("no") or rm(list=ls()) q("yes") Duncan Murdoch -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
