Hi Maria, you need to name your history file

You replied to a message almost two years old, which to my mind is
pretty useless.
Not only that but the information is at best incomplete, and to some
extent misleading.
The saving of history sessions with the name ".Rhistory" in the
working directory after normally exiting R.app is automatic unless
specifically refused or disabled. Maria should have offered what
evidence she has for them not being saved under the name .Rhistory.
They are, of course, invisible to the Mac Finder due to their having
a leading<dot> in their name. That's my guess for why she might have
erroneously concluded that they are not being saved. (I run my Finder
with settings that show these "dot-files" but one does need to know
that these dotfiles often contain system critical stuff so deleting
them is unwise.) If she wanted to check the accuracy of this
information she could have opened a Terminal session , navigate to the
working directory and use the unix command: ls ... this is an example
of such usage:
david-winsemiuss-mac-pro:~ davidwinsemius$ ls .Rhistory
.Rhistory
The Preferences panel from the File menu allows one to disable loading
of history files when the next session is started, but under normal
operating conditions she should also be able to see the history by
clicking on the green-and-yellow striped icon at the top of her R
Console window: "The Show/Hide R command History" icon.

Dear R users,
I am having a minor but annoying issue with R.app. It doesn't retain
the history information from the previous sessions. By "history," I
mean a record of commands/functions entered into R rather than the
list of objects--that is properly recorded in the .Rdata file as
well
as in a workspace file I save separately.
(...)
So if there is some kind of a fix
that doesn't involve upgrading R, I'd love to hear about it.
