Hi Everyone,

I am a beginner running R 2.9.2 under Ubuntu and typically use Emacs w/ESS.
However, I am confused with history() command. When I issue command
history() in Emacs within an R session, this is what get:

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


Similarly, history(max=10) command gives the same error message.

However, there is this In/Out Menu in the Emacs when R is running, and if I
press List Input History from this menu, I see the entire history in a new
frame. Unfortunately, I cannot control how much history I can view by this
menu approach. I would greatly appreciate if someone could explain what is
going on with history() command under Emacs/ESS. Interestingly, history()
command seems to work fine in an R session within the terminal. Best
regards,

Tariq
