But don't do that right after you've done the calculation!

Oops. Any typed expression that returns a value will stomp on .Last.value, even if invisible (as returned from help()). Errors don't, so if you can't remember if it's .Last.Value or .Last.value you're okay: > runif(10) [1] 0.9613436 0.5182666 0.1745280 0.5625401 0.7592582 0.6669713 0.2248729 [8] 0.3458498 0.3198318 0.9048984 > .Last.Value Error: object ".Last.Value" not found > .Last.value [1] 0.9613436 0.5182666 0.1745280 0.5625401 0.7592582 0.6669713 0.2248729 [8] 0.3458498 0.3198318 0.9048984 If this all fails, cut n paste the text and do it the old fashioned way...
