[R] Very silent R

[jim holtman]

My version of R is not silent:

> setwd("/notHere")
Error in base::setwd(dir) : cannot change working directory
> library(notHere)
Error in library(notHere) : there is no package called 'notHere'



Can you give the specific context in which you are using it.

I did fix the problem once using 'options' (show.error.messages, I think), but id doesn't seem to be working any more, and R doesn't tell me if I have an error in my command.
