R help - Mar 2007 - options(error=recover) in .Rprofile

Hi,

I'd like to try using "options(error=recover) in my ~/.Rprofile, but  
it appears that the function "recover" is not defined during R  
startup when the .Rprofile is processed.  "recover" is defined after  
I get an R prompt, however.  Can anyone shed light on why this is,  
and whether a work-around is possible?

I've tested this on a variety of systems including recent linux and  
OSX, using R 2.4.0.  Seems to be pretty generic.

Thanks,

Andy

Perhaps this thread will help:

BTW, I found this using RSiteSearch("recover") in R.

HTH,
