Upgrading to new versions of R.

Whenever I update to a new version of R (by downloading the appropriate binaries from CRAN), I lose whatever functions and datasets I have stored in the saved workspace of the previous version of R that I was running. Is it possible to source/input this workspace from the previous version of R into the new updated version, so I don't lose anything? And if so, where could I locate the workspace amoungst the files on my computer? Thanks, Al. (I have just upgraded from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2, both Windows versions).
The .RData file works unchanged under new versions. I can only assume you are not managing your work as described in the rw-FAQ using a shortcut and a `Start in' field. You need to find the old .RData and load it (use the Load Workspace item on the File menu).
