Hi Rob, It appears that the file is being written to .Rhistory in the working directory, but *I think* it reads from ~/.Rhistory in my home directory. In my preference pane I've got it set to read from ~/.Rapp.history, so that's 3 different files. That last file seems to always be empty.
Here's my plist file (converted to text): https://gist.github.com/798719 When you suggest renaming the file & starting over, which of those 3 would you suggest? -- Ken Williams Senior Research Scientist Thomson Reuters Phone: 651-848-7712 ken.willi...@thomsonreuters.com http://labs.thomsonreuters.com On 1/27/11 9:53 AM, "Rob Goedman" <robjgoed...@me.com> wrote: >Ken, > >That is clearly not right. > >Can you try saving the the history file from the history pane button and >check what is written to the file? > >Can you rename the history file and start over to see if that helps?
