[ESS] R is restoring "previously saved workspace" without me asking it to

[Mark Kimpel]

That is what I "always" do. Apparently, I slipped. Since I "never" do
this, I have put the following in my .Rprofile (Linux). Of course, you
should only use this if you NEVER want to INTENTIONALLY save your
workspace.

setwd("~/myRfiles")
system("find ./ -name '.RData' -print | xargs rm")
