[R-SIG-Mac] problems with history for R on Mac OS X

[Patrick Bennett]

Hello Everyone -

I know that this issue has been discussed on the list, but I still 
can't figure out how to use the history commands.

When I enter loadhistory() in the R Console window, I do indeed load a 
history file, but nothing is shown in the history sheet. Also, 
subsequent calls to savehistory() do not alter the text stored in 
.Rhistory.

Using the buttons on the history sheet, I can save my commands into a 
file, but I am not able to load them into R (pressing the "load 
history" button appears to have no effect).

In short, I can't figure out how to save my commands into a history 
file, or to load history files into R's memory. So, I am totally at a 
loss...

Any tips would be most welcome.


I am using R version 2.1.0 and the version 1.11 of the Aqua GUI on OS-X 
10.4.


cheers,
pjb
