You are wiping out all of the default options with that approach.
Actually, I think it hid the options() function.
Since I was doing this at the RGui and became concerned that it appeared I no longer had any options, I restarted. Could I have saved time by just executing rm(options)?
Yes.
Try (after restarting R to get the other options back to what they
should be):
op=options() # so you can reset back to baseline
options(error=utils::recover) # do not think the "utils::" is needed
Not if you run it in the console, but it is needed in .Rprofile.
Because it might be executed before the loading of the default packages?
I think ?Startup documents it to do just that. I didn't check the actual source or test it, but usually the docs are right, even if sometimes they aren't. Duncan Murdoch
