while the R Console in RKWard is meant to behave just like R running in a 
regular console, technically it is quite a different thing. And this means you 
will find a few differences like this in corner cases.

Support for R's history-functions simply has not yet been added, yet. It is on 
our TODO list: 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2996587&group_id=50231&atid=459010 
.

Thomas

P.S.: In RKWard, the history is saved in ~/.kde/share/config/rkwardrc , but 
admittedly not in a form that could be re-used, easily.
