[R] problem with choose.files

I have recently upgraded to R 2.10.1 on Windows XP and am using
scripts that I've used in previous versions successfully. I'm having a
problem with choose.files. The lines read:

fura_scan_file<-choose.files(caption="Select log file (*.log) for fura-2 scans")
PI_scan_file<-choose.files(caption="Select log file (*.log) for PI scans")


The problem is that the directory chosen after the first choose.files
is not remembered. This is an issue b/c my files are nested inside of
several directories and it takes a lot of clicking to get to where I
need to be. Is there a problem with these lines? Is it likely
elsewhere in the script?

I apologize for my ignorance and wasting time, but in the
documentation for choose.files it suggests this should happen
automatically.
