R help - Sep 2003 - Quit asking me if I want to save the workspace!

How do you stop R from putting up a dialog box when you quit Rgui?
(I use Windows and I never save workspaces that way)

Start R with --no-save (not sure how/whether this will work on Windows).

Consider

Q <- function(x)q("no")

With R 1.7.1 under Windows, "Q()" caused R to close without asking for
confirmation.  This does not solve the whole problem, but it might 
provide a piece of the puzzle. 

hope this helps.  spencer graves

On windows-98,  an easy solution that works:
* Right-click the icon with which you start R.
* Go to Properties --> Shortcut --> Target.
* In "Target" add "--no-save" (I tried without quotation
marks).
* Click "OK", and try.
Hope it works if you are using something other than Windows-98.
