See the ?Rconsole man page. The search is somewhat complicated; it's up
to you to decide whether you want the setting to apply just to your user
(it should be in the R_USER directory), or be the default for all users
(it should be in the R_HOME/etc directory). For me, the default
location for saving is the R_USER directory; I suspect it's the same
default for you, but I haven't actually checked the code.
