I found this annoying also. What I wound up doing was creating separate
icons in the Splus program group for each project, i.e. setting the
properties path variable differently, then creating a separate _data
directory in each location. Creating the .First() function in each
was tricky, because of all the escape sequences necessary in path
names in the attach() function. I started with a generic .First()
and used source() to place it in the various _data directories, wherein
it could be slightly modified.
No doubt clever people could automate all this.
