?load (It's not Mac-specific.) If you want to clean out the workspace you could use: rm( ls() ) You can also associate file types with your R.app.

In the R for Mac OS X FAQ (available in the Help menu) see 4.5.4 Misc Menu and 4.5.5 Workspace Menu This is an R-sig-mac question, so posting there would have been preferred. Chuck

You can use setwd() to change the working directory. Merry X-mas On Wed, Dec 24, 2008 at 6:18 AM, Bill McNeill (UW)

If you want to clean out the workspace you could use: rm( ls() )
That won't do anything. Instead, try: rm(list = ls())
You can also associate file types with your R.app. -- David Winsemius
