See ?loadhistory. The extension can be choosen arbitrarily, the complete 
default filename is ".Rhistory".

Works for me:

# Type somethimg in R, then:
  savehistory("c:/temp.txt")
  q("no")
# Start R again
  loadhistory("c:/temp.txt")
# Now use the arrow keys and find that
#  the formerly saved history has been
#  loaded correctly ...
