You cannot: it is not stored at the time. set.seed() sets .Random.seed, and you can save/restore that. However, the workspace will only contain the current value, not the initial value. Normally the history is saved when you save the workspace: perhaps you do still have that and can search it for your call to set.seed (if there is one: there need not be). -- Brian D.
