Hi, I am having problems using .First() with R.app (v 2.7.2 under OS X 10.5.5); .First appears to be ignored on startup. I would expect .First to be executes as it resides in .RData. .First() does work in the command-line version of R under Mac OS X but my specific task requires R.app. I can find no reference to this issue in the Mac OS X FAQ or in other manuals, does anyone have a solution for this? B. Ripley suggested that .First may not exist or does not work in R.app, but this is not the case as typing .First() in R.app produces the expected result. Thanks,
