R for MacOSX - History and command line problems
Hi Wiebke, To figure out what is happening, would you mind sending me: 1) The exact version of the GUI you are running (the line at the bottom of 'About R' , something like: R Cocoa GUI 1.14 (2283), S.M.Iacus & S.Urbanek. would be fine), 2) Your R plist file (in ~/Library/Prefrences/org.R-project.R.plist), and 3) Your .Rhistory file in the working dir *after closing a session of R*. R-Sig-Mac is a better place to ask specific Mac questions. Regards, Rob

Hi!
I have the following issues using "R for Mac OS X 2.2.1" (from the
ppc-.dmg) on a Mac OS X 10.4.5:
1) The command history is never saved (automatically) to .Rhistory.
(The file stays empty.)
2) If I save a history to some file via the "Save History" button,
and I load it afterwards via "Load History", only the first entry of
the saved History appears in the GUI. But: If I save that (seemingly
almost empty) history again, the file holds all the entries that
should have been in the loaded history file before. The loaded
history can also be viewed with history(). In addition, if I try to
recall the entries using the up-arrow, _alle the entries_ are
recalled at once, allthough the history()-function seems to be able
to consider them as _different_ entries.
3) Having typed some command and entered it with the return key, if I
then recall that command via the up-arrow, the line _with an
additional_ carriage return is recalled. Executing it, results in the
command and an empty line being entered. (Of course, repeatedly
recalling the last commands leads to a growing number of returns
being recalled and entered...) This is quite annoying :(
I'd appreciate any help on this subject!
Ciao!
Wiebke
