That would be a terrible idea. I have dozens of directories and I
want to keep the objects, code and history pertinent to each one.

Re: [R] getting rid of .Rhistory and .RData
OK, this seems to be only a problem when I use emacs/ess. I will try to find a solution to this but this does not seem to be related to emacs. In case anyone of you has an Idea: I use: (setq inferior-R-args "--no-save --no-restore --silent") to start R, but still a .RHistory file is saved.

Re: [R] getting rid of .Rhistory and .RData
Well, I have made some tests with the 'no save' option. This only seems to control the saving of .RData files (at least none appeared in the working directory in my tests). A file called .RHistory is still created.

[R] getting rid of .Rhistory and .RData
Dear R users, occasionally I find .Rhistory and/or .RData files cluttered around in my file structure. Is there a way to tell R not to save such files? Or to use one central location where to save them (if they are of any use)? I have looked through options() to no avail.
