Dear Karl

I think this would not prove to be very useful.

You can specify the startup directory in the shortcut to Rgui or write a two 
line batch file for Rterm if you need to (eg in R.bat put cd DIRNAME; Rterm %1 
%2 ...). 

I don't understand why you would want to put all your data in one 
file/directory in the first place. The reason I use directories is so that I 
can do different jobs in different directories and so the current method is 
ideal.

Peter
