Hello, I have a .First function in my personnal Rprofile file. Through the .First function I want to load an R data base at position 2 in the search list but R complains with: "Attempting to load the environment 'package:stats'" and further down the initialization process, when .First.sys() is run and default packages are loaded, my newly loaded data base ends up at position 7 in the search list, not what I want! Is there any way around that, like delaying the execution of the load as the last action in the initialisation steps?
