[R] Is it possible to set a default working directory for all R consoles?

[Spencer Graves]

	  I use the free version of RStudio, and I routinely work with 
"Projects".  For new projects, I first I create a new project directory 
in Finder (in a Mac) or Windows Explorer if it does not already exist. 
Then in RStudio, I do File > "New Project..." > in "Existing Directory".


	  Then when I want to work on an existing project, I can do File > 
"Recent Projects" in RStudio.  Or I can double click on the appropriate 
*.Rproj file in Finder or Windows Explorer.


	  Hope this helps.
