Dear Sir/Madam: I'm currently running R 1.9.1 on a Mac OS 10.3. I have been able to use it fine for a while now. But for some reason, it now crashes each time I open it with the error: Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .Rdata I read on the online help forum that I can just delete the bad .Rdata file. But I cannot find it. I even tried to delete everything related to R and reinstalling but the problem has not gone away. Please HELP! Thank you, Susan Yeh

Then list.files(pattern="*.Rdata") Now you know where is the bad file an d can continue to remove it. Kjetil -- Kjetil Halvorsen.
