[R] Setting .Rprofile for RStudio on a Windows 7 x64bit

[BR_email]

Bill:
Success, almost there:

>writeLines(readLines("C:/Users/BruceRatner/Documents/.Rprofile.site")) options(prompt="R> ")
set.seed(12345)
rm(list=ls())

 >


Yet, still not affecting the launch, as "R>" is not there.
Any suggestions, please. "So close, yet far away, ... " - Carly Simon
