If possible I would like to add two sub-menus to the R Console under
Windows.
For example, I would like to add:
winMenuAddItem("File", "Load CSV...", "loadCSV()")
winMenuAddItem("File", "Save CSV...", "saveCSV()")
and have them appear under the initial 'File' item rather than add a new
'File' menu item. I seem to recall from somewhere that this is
inadvisable, however is it possible from within R and if so what might
be the consequences of such additions?

You could try deleting all the existing menus and then recreating them in the way you want. I believe that once worked although I haven't tried it recently.

Since R is Open Source it is 'possible', but I doubt it is easy. The system menus are coded in C in file src/gnuwin32/rui.c: their implementation is orthogonal to the facility to add user menus.> *Simon Gatehouse* > > *Hellman & Schofield Pty Ltd* > 6/3 Trelawney St., Eastwood, NSW, 2122 > P.O.
