  This is modelled on the Unix behaviour. About .RData, I strongly
  believe that it is a very sensible (and useful) behavior
  (I use different directories for different projects or data
   and WANT different .RData).
  About .RHistory is more a matter of taste. Probably, I agree
  that one .RHistory is enough.
  

  BTW, since we are speaking on .RHistory:  under Unix,
  I would like to have the command history saved 
  also when one doesn't save the workspace; now, exiting
  with q("no") or friends doesn't update .RHistory.
