functions

Marta,

The "Writing R Extensions" manual is probably geared towards those who 
write complex packages including source code and documentation. This may 
seem incomprehensible overkill  to those who have just a few R functions 
they want available from any and all their workspaces. Further, in R 1.6.0 
packages now need a "Built" tag in the DESCRIPTION file, which again may be 
irrelevant to those who have a just a few R functions.

What I do is have the following line in my .Rprofile file:
	> source("acw.R")
where the file "acw.R" contains R functions. This means that these 
functions are accessible from within any .RData file I'm using (assuming 
I've appropriately set R_USER).

E-mail me privately if you would like more details about this.

Hello,

I am a newbie in R,
I just did my first function, which works!!! And I would like to know, if 

I

can create a directory in the library with my functions, in a way, which

Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance
