R help - May 2004 - RWinEdt, R.profile and version 1.9.0

Hi,

I have just upgraded from the 1.8.1 to  the 1.9.0 version of R, and have some
trouble to run RWinEdt from the .Rprofile file (in the
user folder). The script is:

library(MASS)
library(lattice)
cat("Load editor?(y/n default = y): ")
nf <- as.character(readLines(n = 1))
if ((nf=="y")|(nf=="Y")|(nf==""))
{library(RWinEdt)}
rm(nf)

When run at start, this prompts:

Loading required package: stats
Load editor?(y/n default = y): y
Loading required package: SWinRegistry
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : couldn't find function
"winMenuAdd"

and the WinEdt is not started.

However, if I run
> library(RWinEdt)
from the gui.exe interface, everything goes well.

How can I manage with this "Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) :
couldn't find function "winMenuAdd" generated by a call to
library(RWinEdt) in the .Rprofile script?

Apologises to reply to myself...

I found where the trouble came from.

The function winMenuAdd() is included in the library utils, not loaded at this
stage. Now, it works with

library(MASS)
library(lattice)
cat("Load editor?(y/n default = y): ")
nf <- as.character(readLines(n = 1))
if (any(nf=="y",nf=="Y",nf==""))
{library(utils);library(RWinEdt)}
rm(nf)

This loading was not necessary in the version 1.8.1.
