I certainly appreciate those advantages, but I feel I'm missing something very basic. I would have expected a function like save.transcript or save.console to be able to write out the console's contents.
I see a similar situation in the Windows GUI. There is the menu choice Save> Workspace and the matching function save.image. In the console window, there is the menu choice "File> Save to file" but I don't see an equivalent function. Is are there functions for all menu choices in R?
