[R] Rconsole file fails to remember GUI settings, and script window text colour option is missing

Am encountering two related problems since the 2.15 release.  Apologies in
advance for a mundane non code-related post, but you know how it is.  I'm
using the basic R GUI.

1: I use a black environment for no glare, so pre-version 2.15 I've had
black backgrounds and white text.  Since the 2.15 release my script window
text has colour turned itself black (so is now invisible) and now I cannot
find any setting in the options list that changes it.  Anyone know which one
its supposed to be?

2: I initially changed the script window to mid grey (so I could see the
text) and saving to the standard 'Rconsole' file, but now R fails to
remember that setting when it reloads.  So I've tried resetting the GUI
settings by deleting all 'Rconsole' files (found 1 on C drive and the one in
my personal R folder) but to no avail. It just doesn't remember new
settings, and its unclear where R is getting its current GUI settings from.
Rrrrr!

More generally, can't someone behind this otherwise great project please
update the GUI settings to make them more comprehensive.  And user-friendly
- the 'console and pager colours' section is abysmal.
