Subject: [R] explanation - what does R in the background?

for an undergraduate course in working with R I would like to explain  
the R-environment and the associated file system. But I am not sure if  
I have understand all of that correctly myself.

Is there a document or a website out there which explains that in an  
understandable way? Things like; what files are loaded; what  
the .Rhistory does; what the different graphic devices are etc...
(perhaps with a nice graphic or table)


thanks f|r any help!
