When I type history() to the R console, I get a new window that is always blank. How can I get history() working? Here are the details of my set-up. In the plist, a number of keys were listed that looked like passwords. Because I didn't understand the security implications (almost certainly non-existent), I mangled these.
It's been a whiles since I used R 2.8 but perhaps the current behavior is similar. What happens when you:
A) Open the Preferences dialog in the RGUI and look at your history settings (which in the current GUI are in the Startup panel.)
B) Open a Terminal.app window and type in: locate .Rhistory (I get 4 different locations as a result of saving various copies.) -- David.
