Hello, Two unrelated questions, and neither urgent. Windows 7, R 3.0.1. Using R Console, no fancy interface. The function help ultimately becomes lost to a session kept running for extended periods (days). I.e. with a new session if you invoke the Help menu 'R functions (txt)...' it activates the html help and goes to the named function page. This will work fine for at least a day, but typically the next day invoking the help menu in this fashion will fail, as R looks for a temporary address it creates on your computer. This gets lost, possibly due to network administration activity. So then I save and start another session with same Rdata. Trivial enough but irritating. Anybody know how to restore the 'link' without ending and restarting the session? I have a mix of 32-bit and 64-bit requirements, with 64 the default. I became used to starting R sessions directly from the appropriate Rdata workspaces. With the latest version I need to start from the generic icon and then load the workspace if I want 32-bit. Anybody know a way to make the Rdata files keep track of which bit version they work with, or some trick that accomplishes the same objective? The 32-bit requirement is usually just RODBC, and the need for it is scattered over lots of workspaces. Again, trivial but a nuisance. A more pragmatic motive is to not oblige users of applications to think about it. Any way to make a session switch 'bits' with a source file?
