Full_Name: Joseph Adler Version: 2.8.1 OS: Mac OS X 10.5.6 Submission from: (NULL) (71.142.93.52) According to the help file, the history() function is supposed to show recent command history. However, it does not do this in the current Mac OS X version. Instead, the history function appears to simply show the contents of the file ~/.Rhistory.
I believe you are refering to the R.app console, not R (the command-line interface). In which case this is a problem in R.app, a separate project for which you are asked to send reports to the R-sig-mac list (see the posting guide under 'Platform-specific questions').
