i can see how this message confuses users. should we maybe silently load 
R2HTML at the beginning of each session by default if it is available? adding 
the line

  require("R2HTML", quietly=TRUE)

to the commands to run in each session (settings/R-Backend) does the trick. 

but since require() is wrapped by RKWard, it will always try to install a 
missing package. so if a user deliberately decided to not install R2HTML, he/
she will be bugged by this each time. we could either ask them to simply 
remove the require() call from their settings (but then how would we safely 
add it to running installations during upgrades? ask whether to add it in the 
first run wizard?), or make the wrapper interpret "quietly=TRUE" to not try 
the automatic installtion attempt?


viele grüße :: m.eik


(btw, in settings, the menus "R-Packages" and "R-Backed" should be named "R 
Packages" and "R Backed")
