 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:


[Previously saved workspace restored]
