Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing rstudioapi methods and the four named entry points: documentOpen(), documentRead(), consoleHistory(), and consoleSend(). Confirm the corresponding RStudio API behavior for each, then consider the work done when all four methods support the tutorial use cases described in the issue.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

rstudioapi::documentOpen(): Instruct the IDE to open a source file.
rstudioapi::documentRead(): Read the contents of a document open (and perhaps unsaved?) in the IDE.
rstudioapi::consoleHistory(): Read the history of commands sent to the R console.
rstudioapi::consoleSend(): Send code to the R console.
