.Last.value or % or ANS or ... (was unix)

Good suggestion and simple enough.

I had in mind something more like "version" which doesn't require the "()",
but your idea is excellent.

Would be nice to have something simpler than .Last.value

Perhaps I am stating the obvious or being extremely stupid but you can
create a function:

        lv <- function()
         {
         .Last.value
         }

And then use lv() whenever you need .Last.value.
