Hi, I was tutoring in the lab when a student asked me this question. Is it possible to save the work done in R, then source it back in AND display all the work within R later? I know that one can save the history (i.e. all the codes in a session) in *.R format, then source it back in at a later stage. However the historical codes will not be displayed within R, only the line source(...) is displayed. I suggested the student to use notepad (or equivalent) to do the codes. However I'm interested to know if there are ways to display the history (method other than Display File under the File menu) in R (Windows version).

Effectively the same thing is done by the history() command (all versions which can save the history, which is all but Unix without readline, AFAIK).

If you give source the argument echo=T, the source'd code will be
displayed.
