A fine question for the list.

I closed my final, and when I reopened it and restarted R in the same
directory I was working in before, I typed ls(), and got character(0) in
response. How do I find my previously loaded data and functions?
When I open R in other directories, my previous data and functions are
there...
Hmmm. My personal preference is to use "save" explicitly when trying
to save collections of data files. Of course, you can read all about
the default procedure by which R saves the workspace in "Introduction
to R".
Did you really save the workspace? Do you see an .Rdata file? Does
its time stamp look correct? We're you really in that directory? Be
careful of changing directories during a session (although this is
often helpful).
