Subject: How to set options() when a package without a name space is loaded?
In-Reply-To: <59d7961d0603280718k624b2336w1433400a7cd3cb3@mail.gmail.com>

Don't worry.  Sorry for that, I should of course know that it is in
.First.lib() as documented Section 1.1.4 on "Package subdirectories"
in "Writing R Extensions"; "A common use is to call library.dynam()
inside .First.lib() to load compiled code: another use is to call
those functions with side effects".

The reason why it "didn't work" was that I mispelled the option in
.First.lib().  It's time for me to go home now ;)
