R help - Mar 2015 - Debug package options

Folks,

I would like change some of the options for the Tk window that pops up when
using the debug package.

I know how to change the options: e.g. options(debug.font = "Courier 12
italic?).

Is there a way to ?preset? these in my environment so when debug starts up I
have all the options set up the way I want them?

Do I do this in a .First file? Does the .First file have to load the debug
package every time I start up R?

No need to do my work for me. Just point me to the right doc.

Best,
KW

See the ?Startup help topic.  You probably want to use one of the
profile files rather than .First, because .First needs to be in a
workspace, and you shouldn't be loading a workspace every time.

Duncan,
Thanks for the help.

Since I am the only person using this machine and I couldn?t figure out where to
put the option statement aside from:
    C:\Program Files\R\R-3.1.2\etc
In the file Rprofile.site

The option that I wanted was:
options(debug.font = "Consolas 12?)

Which allowed me to have the right size font and Tk window to be able to do
debugging using the debug package.

In case you are interested I use Windows 7 on my Mac via Parallels.

Thanks again,
Best,
KW
