This worked, thank you. The trick was to check this option and restart R.app before even attempting to save a history file. This option had become unchecked while I was trying to find ways to make the autosave work properly. So after this, I was able to save and load history files through the GUI without any problems coming up at least during my tests. However, the automatic loading of history upon exit was still broken: mostly not working at all, but a couple of times during my tests actually saving it, once in the corrupted format (with #'s). I then received further advice from Rob: > I should have pointed out that in R.app the R calls 'savehistory()' > and 'loadhistory()' do > not really work.

After I renamed the history file, the autosave/load seemed to start working flawlessly as well. All my problems are thus fixed. Thank you! -- Vili By the way: since upgrading from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1 I started getting the message pasted below in red letters on the editor screen upon startup, either before or after the R splash text. Sometimes it does not appear at all. Nothing seems broken so far, but I thought I would mention it. 2007-07-09 18:22:12.966 R[2234] tossing reply message sequence 1 on thread 0x5033380 _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
