I strongly support this proposal. This will be a fantastic feature! Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie <xieyihui at gmail.com> Phone: 515-294-2465 Web: http://yihui.name Department of Statistics, Iowa State University 2215 Snedecor Hall, Ames, IA

It'd be cool if R CMD was user extensible through packages, so that (e.g.)
R CMD mypackage::mycommand
would do something like:
path <- system.file("cmd", paste(command, ".r"), package = package)
if (!file.exists(path)) {
?stop("Command ", command, " in ", package, " does not exist")
} else {
?source(path)
}
And maybe `R CMD mypackage` would look in mypackcage/cmd/default.r.

Hi, is it possible to add a custom script such that it is called via R CMD <custom>? ?Is R CMD searching for it elsewhere than R_HOME/bin/? ?I'm looking for an non-admin alternative, so copying the script to R_HOME/bin/ will not do (in case the user don't have enough permission to write there). /Henrik
