Why does R save its command history only when one saves the data image of the session? Is this a feature? Even though .Last can do this, would it be more convenient if R can do this automatically? Logically, I feel the command history should be treated separately.
I don't know: it predates my involvement with R. The Windows ports used always to save it, but we changed to conform to the Unix version, since being different confused too many people.
