I am using xemacs, so:
1. directory without .RData file:
xemacs -f R
xemacs opens, propmpts for the starting data directory, after
confirmation R starts after 3 seconds with the message:
> if(!exists("baseenv", mode="function")) baseenv <- function() NULL
> options(STERM='iESS', editor='gnuclient -q')
2. Directory containing a .RData file:
xemacs -f R
xemacs opens, propmpts for the starting data directory, after
confirmation R starts after 45 seconds. During the startup process a
message bar is shown saying "Fontifying *R*". After startup it shows
the prompt:
[1m[Previously saved workspace restored]
[0m>
Cheers,
Georg
