R script autoload at startup
See ?Startup for how to do this via .Rprofile or etc/Rprofile.site. The answer to your second question is that RGui is not written in tcltk (can't you tell from the speed with which it works?), but there are documented R functions for you to add menu items, such as winMenuAdd. (I do wonder how you missed these in the searches for help, as all the terms I tried found the answers.)

Yes. It would be nice and useful to save the users the task of loading the source R-TcltK code everytime they start up R. Because, in principle they are going to use R just for this. But the R GUI must remains open Javier ----------------------- El Viernes, 24 de Febrero de 2006 16:39, Frank Samuelson escribi??:
Do you need the user to interact with the Rgui after the code has run? -Frank Javier Garcia-Pintado wrote:
Hello; I'm now using mainly R for windows, mainly because I'm writing a tcl/Tk interface for some people, and I've got two questions. I'm an absolute beginner with tctk or tcktk use under the R GUI. 1) Is it posible to create a shorcut that launchs the R GUI and automatically reads the "source code" of the tcl/tk script to also launch the tcltk interface? 2) Is the RGUI programmed with tcltk? In this case, is it possible for an user like me to create a menu entry at the R GUI to call the source code in this R/tcl/Tk script? Any of the two options would be very good for us. Thanks and best regards, Javier
