Dear all, is there any way to stop popping up the start-up messages when I
start a new R console window? I want a clean window for my work which
obviously can be done by pressing 'cont+l'. However I want R should be able
to do it automatically, as soon as it starts.

Thanks and regards,
Use the -q option when calling R.

Depends how you start R.
On the command line, say 'R -q' instead of just 'R'

In windows from a shortcut, modify the shortcut that you click on to start R so that the command includes -q
The same should work with desktop ar menu links in kde, gnome etc, but I've not verified that

And if you use RStudio it seems that this option is not currently
supported: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7771577/clear-startup-screen-in-r-rstudio
(follow the links through to the RStudio forums)
