[R] history() does not work? 2

[Christian Hoffmann]

Hi,

> history()

gives Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save

although I can scroll throu history with C^uparrow an C^downarrow.

How can I make history() work

and/or show the current history in a *file*, so that I can choose from 
previous commands?

The notion of having readline enabled: How can I do that on mac osx? I 
work with

R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit)

TIA  --Christian
