 and since I've probably got 3 R sessions running in however many
different directories and I might have jumped around with setwd() , I
forget exactly where R wants to save its workspace image. So could q()
be changed to say what file it is going to save to before it does?

 Currently I have to hit 'c', then do getcwd(), then quit again.
Would something like

 > q()
 Save workspace image (/home/me/workspace/.RData)? [y/n/c]:

 be useful to anyone else? Just thought I'd ask before I dive into
internals or wrap the q function for myself.

That sounds like a great suggestion.  I might word it as

Save workspace to "/home/me/workspace/.RData"? [y/n/c]

If people are working deep in a directory tree, the path might end up too long; you might want to think about limiting it (e.g. by leaving off the root).
