# How to "install" the scripts for R
####################################

There are two ways to make the scripts available for use in R.
One way is to start an R session, then open the file "Rprogs.r"
and execute the "run all" command to run all the lines in this
file.  Once they've been run, all the functions are installed
and are available for use on your data.  You'll have to do
this every time you start a new R session.

The other way is to place the file ".Rprofile" (which is
identical to the file "Rprogs.r") in the directory which is
the "home" directory for R.  Whatever file has that name,
and resides in the home directory (the directory R points to
when it starts), will automatically be loaded and run whenever
you start an R session.
