'tog.utilities' toggles between a search path on which jmfuns.rda is attached, and a search path on which jm.utilities.rda is attached.  The function is useful when checking that the functions in jm.utilities.rda do not call any functions that are only present in jmfuns.rda.

'tog.utilities' is less useful now that the 'find.fun.in.fun' and 'check.all.funs' functions have been written.  These latter function facilitate the checking of whether functions in jm.utilities.rda call functions that are in jmfuns.rda and not in jm.utilities.rda.  In other words, there should be less need to toggle jm.utilities.rda onto and off of the search path now that 'find.fun.in.fun' and 'check.all.funs' functions have been written.

twoScreens is set to TRUE or FALSE depending on whether R is configured for one computer monitor only or to two computer monitors.

List of packages on pre-4/26/2013 R2.15.2

UHouse.packages.2.15.2 is a list with 4 components.  

$packages is a matrix named 'packages'.  Column 1 of $packages are the names of currently installed packages; column 2 is a description of the packages.

$date is the current date on which this list was made.

$R.version is the R version

$description is a brief description of the list.

'update.all' copies various standard files like 'jmmx.dotm' to directories in which copies are maintained, like '/my dropbox/trv.files/'.  'update.all' assigns the output dataframe to a variable named 'update.<date>.<time>', where <date> and <time> are replaced with numeric representations of the current date and time.  

WARNING:  update.all assumes that the source files should be copied to the target files.  It DOES NOT check that the date/time of the source files is more recent then the date/time of the target files.  This is because it is assumed that the source files are the "official" files.  Even if the target file happened to be revised at a later date/time, this is assumed to be an accident.  

Use 'check.only = TRUE' and 'view.by.file = TRUE' or 'view.by.destination = TRUE' to see the correspondence between source and target files.  

ARGUMENTS:

Set 'check.only' to TRUE to get feedback re whether files are being copied to the correct locations (no copy is carried out).  Set 'check.only' to FALSE (default) to carry out the file copy operations. 

If 'check.only = TRUE' and 'view.by.file = TRUE', then the files that are to be copied are sorted by file name.

If 'check.only = TRUE' and 'view.by.destination = TRUE', then the files that are to be copied are sorted by the destination folder.

It is not allowed to have view.by.file and view.by.destination both be TRUE.
