This is just two suggestions and a guess.
a) When you desire the information from sessionInfo ,you need to type :
sessionInfo() # not sessionInfo
... results come from function calls and all you got was the
sessionInfo code produced by the implicit print function to which you
gave the argument sessionInfo.
b) Tell us exactly the methods you used to save "my script", "my
workspace", "etc"?
c) As a guess, you had the Zelig package loaded under R-Commander
yesterday but not today. The right person to ask this question of
might be one of those package maintainers. (John Fox is very good
about supporting R-Commander.)

Hello, very basic question from a user who is baffled by the
workings of computers in general
When logging off R, a dialog box asked if I wanted to save my log,
I chose yes. Then I noticed that the following message appeared in
the Command Window
Error in saveLog(currentLogFileName) :
unused argument(s) ("C:/Documents and Settings/prewpj/My Documents/
Data/Analyses/Healthcare/Hand Care Panel Test_KMolinaro/
soapfeel_ZeligMixedLogit.R")
My attempts to find the parameters that saveLog requires haven’t
been successful, so I’m wondering if someone on this list could
advise me. Yesterday, I saved several files: my script, my
workspace, etc. to the above filepath, but today they are not
there. A Windows search of my C:drive using the names of the files
came up empty. They didn’t show up when I listed the objects from
the default R directory, either --- ls() command didn’t list
yesterday’s files.
Further, the sessionInfo output is like nothing I’ve seen before.
Typically, it starts out with
“R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22)
i386-pc-mingw32
…
Thank you, Paul
