Hello Everyone - I know that this issue has been discussed on the list, but I still can't figure out how to use the history commands. When I enter loadhistory() in the R Console window, I do indeed load a history file, but nothing is shown in the history sheet. Also, subsequent calls to savehistory() do not alter the text stored in .Rhistory. Using the buttons on the history sheet, I can save my commands into a file, but I am not able to load them into R (pressing the "load history" button appears to have no effect). In short, I can't figure out how to save my commands into a history file, or to load history files into R's memory. So, I am totally at a loss... Any tips would be most welcome. I am using R version 2.1.0 and the version 1.11 of the Aqua GUI on OS-X 10.4. cheers, pjb Patrick J.

problems with history for R on Mac OS X

Hi Patrick, Can you let me know what your settings are in the Startup pref pane (Command-, and select Startup). I'm interested in the History section settings. Also, when you press the 'load history' button, does a finder window show up? Finally, with Read history file on startup selected and a relative path of say ".Rhistory", a history file should be updated and read in on startup. You can only see the file in a terminal with ls -l. Its in R's working dir (unless an absolute path is specified). The contents is visible in the history sheet. Rob
