[R] Where does R store workspace and commands that load on startup

[Sarah Goslee]

By default R saves them as .RData and .Rhistory in the working
directory - files with names beginning with a . are invisible on linux
by default.
ls -a
at a shell command line in that directory will show them to you.

I know that I can save .RData and .Rhistory files, but I would like to know how(where) R stores this information automatically. I have not found any .RData or .Rhistory files associated with start up.
