Dr AST Czarn <aczarn@cs.uwa.edu.au> asked about removing .Audit and last.dump,
which led to discussion about how to avoid creating .Audit in the first place.

Brian Ripley <ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk> and Gary Sabot <gary@sabot.com> suggested:
1) chmod u-w .Data/.Audit
2) setenv S_NOAUDIT 1   (only for S-Plus 6.0)
3) ln -s /dev/null ~/MySwork/.Data/.Audit

(Apologies if I have summarized incorrectly!)  Here's another idea, which I
*think* worked in 5.1 (but can no longer test):

4) setenv S_FIRST 'setAudit("/dev/null")'
