David, I think I can help you with that one -- I assume you did not hit ? <Enter>, < Tab> or any other key to commit the filename so it was ? never stored.

I agree that it can be a source of frustration - I'll see if we can ? change the behavior to auto-commit the change when the preference pane ? is closed (it's a little tricky because the pane is sort of ? independent of the window). Cheers, Simon
Magic! After a couple of weeks of frustration, it finally works the way it's supposed to. Enhancement request: Please add to the note about ~/.Rhistory. "Terminate any new filename with 'Enter' ' or something along those lines. I think this would be almost as effective as trying to make it auto- commit on closing the preferences window, and much less effort. Thanks for the help. David
