You can add me to the list of people confused by the way history works  
in R.app. My understanding is R.app only reads the history when it  
starts (if selected in the preferences) and writes the .Rhistory file  
when it quits; thus, the R commands savehistory and loadhistory might  
not work as expected. I have been generally successful at getting  
the .Rhistory to write in the current working directory, but as noted  
by vi, I'm puzzled about why this should interact with whether or not  
the workspace is saved. Is this a bug or something about the intended  
behaviour that I don't understand?
