Could you figure out how to tell us your platform and R version, please?

On Windows, yes (called savehistory).
Should be easy to add on Unix (non-GNOME).

On Windows, 16K chars or  512 lines, in consolestructs.h 

On Unix (non-GNOME), 512 lines, in src/unix/system.c. Can be overriden by
the environment variable R_HISTSIZE.

GNOME: ditto, in file src/unix/gnome/system.c
