R help - Apr 2001 - Is there any function equivalent to Rgui's File--Save to File (menu bar) command ? (R for Windows)

Dear R users:

I would like to know whether or not there is some auxiliary function for the
Windows Port that emulates Rgui's Fille|Save to File [menu bar] command,
analogous to flush.console().

More specifically,  what I want to do is to insert such a function in .Last
function in .Rprofile to automatically save the contents of the console as
an ASCII text file whenever I quit Rgui.  Or is there any system parameter
that represents the contents of the console and can be used as an argument
of save command?

Thank you for your assistance.

That's nothing like what flush.console () does.

savehistory().  If you save the workspace the history is saved too.
This is standard (cross-platform) R behaviour.

Note: this saves the input: neither the menu nor the command save the
output in the Rgui console window, and theat is not retained.
