[R-SIG-Mac] R.app intractable history problem

[Rob Goedman]

Vi,

My machine developed a problem yesterday evening, so I can only do  
email right now.

Can you try below step after renaming the .Rhistory file to something  
like .myRhistory?

As a 2nd question, if you type .Last in RConsole, what does it show?

Thanks,
Rob
