R help - May 2011 - save and load user modifications of options

Hi,

Could anyone help me with the following problem? After I finished a R
session and modified some options (for example, set
options(editor="neditor")), I want save these modifications so that
after I
load the saved R data I do not need to modify these options again. What is
the best way to do this? Is there a way without using an external file? I
tried save.image. However, only default setting is perserved.

Thanks for your help!


Xue

You need to read about your options about setting options at startup.  
You can find information in the Installation Manual or by typing: ? 
Startup

(I cannot think of a manner in which this can be tied to a data file  
being loaded.)
