When I close R and answer yes to save workspace, R automatically loads it and apparently also the command history at start up. I would like to know where R stores this information. 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. 
I am running 2.15.3 on Ubuntu operating system on PC (Zorin) via GUI JGR. 

Thank you, 

Roy Robertson
