Clearing Console; of weeks of codes!

Please reply to the list, so the OP and otheres following the thread
can see your contributions. I'm taking this back to r-help.
you can try it ...

rm(list=ls())
No - this has been suggested before and saying it gain does not make
it less wrong: rm() will delete objects from the workspace but has
absolutely no effect on the history.

    CTRL-L simply clears the screen and not the history.

    What you are seeing is the R history which is stored in the file
    .Rhistory in the current working directory when the session is closed
    or savehistory() is used. Deleting that file before starting R will
    "clear" the history. I am not sure you can clear the history of a
    running R session. Deleting the file will not work while the session
    is open because the history is in memory at that time and I am not
    aware of a command to manipulate the current history.

    The environment variable R_HISTSIZE can be used to control the size
    of the history.

    see ?history for details.
