When you type 23+456, you're asking R to do something for you, you're not writing a document. So you can save a record of what you asked for, but you can't reload it later in R to continue on.

Saving data is done with the `save` function, ... what else? There is also a history mechanism on most OSes, which you have not given us the details. It is a separate system that at least on Windows and Macs should be operative unless turned off. There are functions that allow you to access this file: ?history You should be able to get prior input from the history file during a console session by typing the up-arrow (perhaps repeatedly).> > in the official r manuel this is very badly described for first > users..Not sure what you are using as the "Official R Manual". "Introduction to R" would be the usual first document. Try reading the Posting Guide which is linked at the bottom of every posting. It has much useful information in it including what is requested of persons experiencing difficulties who post to the list.> > thanks helping me saving R programs > > Best regards >David Winsemius, MD Heritage Laboratories West Hartford, CT
