[R] (newbie) Saving the workspace in .txt format

[Petr Pikal]

Hi

you can also try to look at

?savehistory

which enables you to save your latest commands to a file. Or use menu 
item save history. You can edit this saved file and you can use part 
of it or whole by loadhistory or just by copy/paste to R console.
