ES: minor, but disconcerting, problems

[A.J. Rossini]

We really need a developer that uses S-PLUS, sigh...  I don't see this
under R (not to the same extent).

Any takers?

    shawn> buffer. All subsequent invocations appear in the appropriate *S objects*
    shawn> buffer.

    shawn>       d. using any of the ess functions always adds an extra '>' to the
