R SIG Debian - Mar 2013 - Storage of automatically loaded workspace and command files

When I close R and answer yes to save workspace, R automatically loads it and
apparently also the command history at start up. I would like to know where R
stores this information. I know that I can save .RData and .Rhistory files, but
I would like to know how(where) R stores this information automatically. I have
not found any .RData or .Rhistory files associated with start up.
I am running 2.15.3 on Ubuntu operating system on PC (Zorin) via GUI JGR. 

Thank you, 

Roy Robertson

Generally below your $HOME directory -- so ~/.RData and ~/.Rhistory.
