Hi,

I'm using Splus 6 Professional (Release 2) on Windows 2000 and noticed that the sourceChapter() function seems to leave the sourced chapter stuck at position 1 in the search path.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or there is something I need to do. The documentation for sourceChapter indicates that the chapter should be reattached to the original position - this doesn't seem to be happening.

In the following example the chapter "scripts" is attached at position 2. The only way to fix this seems to be to exit and restart Splus.

> attach("d:\\g1_datasets\\geog2009\\windows scripts",name="scripts")
> search()
 [1] "C:\\Program Files\\Insightful\\splus6\\users\\nissenk"
 [2] "scripts"
 [3] "splus"
 [4] "stat"
 [5] "data"
 [6] "trellis"
 [7] "nlme3"
 [8] "menu"
 [9] "sgui"
[10] "winspj"
[11] "main"
> sourceChapter("scripts")
