I found that C-c M-r is very useful when S-PLUS is invoked with
M-x sqpe+4, which is the way I use S-PLUS most of time on my PC.
It should be bound to a function key. Another command is
ess-execute-attach. It is listed in iESS menu without a binding key.

Following the suggestion from Charles (attached below), I bind these
commands as follows:

	(add-hook
	  'inferior-ess-mode-hook 
	  '(lambda()
	    (define-key inferior-ess-mode-map [f3]
'comint-previous-matching-input-from-input)
	    (define-key inferior-ess-mode-map [f4] 'ess-execute-attach)
	    (define-key inferior-ess-mode-map [f11] 'comint-kill-output)
	    (define-key inferior-ess-mode-map [f12] 'comint-kill-input)
	  )
	)

For other commands, such as ess-execute-search, ess-execute-objects,
comint-dynamic-complete and so on, there are a couple of seconds
delay in getting results after execution (this seems to be pertinent
to NTEmacs on PC only. I did not notice this in a linux box with
S-PLUS 5.1. My PC is PII300 with 128MB. Maybe it is too slow now?),
so I never use them.

Many thanks to Rich for pointing out how to automatically highlight
the selected text with C-SPC and M-w. It is now just fantastic!
His website http://sbm.temple.edu/~rmh/ is very useful.
