[R] Logging an R session to file?

[Mike Beddo]

Prof Ripley,

It's been many years since I used S or S-plus, so it's hard to remember
what I had then. My S book, "An Interactive Enviroment For Data Analysis
and Graphics," by R. Becker and J. Chambers, on page 139 (Keeping Track of
an Analysis: Sink and Diary) says "Executing diary() activates a
diary-keeping facility in S which appends the date and time to the file
''diary'' in the current UNIX directory. This is followed by all
expressions subsequently typed to S."

I'm new to R, but this seems too useful a facility to be overlooked? Or
maybe R users do it a different way?
