Reading outdated .Rprofile file
Preamble: There is a dedicated R-Mac-SIG list where this would have been more appropriately directed. and followups should be directed there (and the R-help address removed so we do not have two simulatnaous threads.)

Hi there: I'm having a weird problem with my startup procedure. R.app is reading an unknown .Rprofile file. First, I'm on a Mac Os 10.6.8 running R.app 2.15.0
There have been several updates to the R.app that went with R 2.15.0 that should not be at all disruptive to acquire. R.app version numbers are not in sync with R versions so that doesn't tell us what R.app you have. This is the current R.app (based on what is at the r.research.att.com website) : Mac OS X GUI rev. 6451
On startup

What is your "home directory" and does your understanding agree with what you see when you use the Preferences panel from within a running version of R.app? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Looking at the Get Info panel for the GUI I see I am also somewhat out-of-date: R.app GUI 1.53 (6335 Leopard build 64-bit). I noticed that R 2.15.3 is now available. (I had been checking over the last several days and this is the first time I noticed that it had appeared.)

but then, when I type .First from the command line I get
function ()
{
source("/Users/simon/Documents/R/functions/sample_size.R")
source("/Users/simon/Documents/R/functions/pseudor2.R")
source("/Users/simon/Documents/R/functions/dates.R")

source("/Users/simon/Documents/R/functions/cox_snell.R")
source("/Users/simon/Documents/R/functions/cor.prob.R")
source("/Users/simon/Documents/R/functions/kmo.R")
}
Needless to say, I get an error because the file sample.size.R was deleted a long time ago.
So how do I get R.app to read the updated .Rprofile file?
Could there be another .Profile file? (They are invisible by default in the MacOS using Finder.app.)
