Commands starting with `P` is what you seek.

Example of save/restore session:
```
$ r2 -
[0x00000000]> f myflag = 0xdeadbeef
[0x00000000]> Ps myproject
[master (root-commit) cbcd6c2] default message
 Author: dacav <dacav@localhost>
 1 file changed, 687 insertions(+)
 create mode 100644 rc.r2
[0x00000000]> q
```

Starting a new session:
```
$ r2 -
[0x00000000]> Pl
myproject
[0x00000000]> P myproject
[0x00000000]> f | grep myflag
0xdeadbeef 0 myflag
```

The project saving is done using `git`, as suggested by the `Ps` output.  I think using `git` is a great idea, and I like how `Pd` can tell what happened in a project over time.

I figured a quick way to figure out where the saved project (repository) are: use `P!` and then `pwd` at the shell prompt. I guess there's some variable to tweak the defaults.

Also, the original question is quite old, and even trying `Po` will result in a deprecation warning these days.
