Hello, is it possible to define functions in a file, say, myfunctions.R, and import them into R -- into the top-level namespace? I've seen in the documentation that you can create packages, but this seems very heavy-duty, as it requires me to createa subdirectory, and various other files. TIA Martin
See ?source and also the list archive, this is a quite frequently asked question.
