   .Audit is used to keep a record of all the commands entered.  This could
   be examined via
   
   Splus AUDIT
   
   in S-PLUS 3.4, but that seems missing in 5.1.
   
   It's possible to make .Data/.Audit unwriteable, when nothing is
   recorded.  As in
   
   chmod u-w .Data/.Audit
   
   This will give a warning you can ignore.
 
A cleaner way is to set the environment variable S_NOAUDIT to T before
running S.  This is a new variable for SPlus 6.0, but unfortunately it
was left out of the list on pages 433-434 of Chapter 9 of the S-PLUS 6
for Unix/Linux User's Guide.
